Baby Footprint Notes and Poems
Baby footprint gifts can also be accompanied by gift cards where you can write some poems for your child. Poems about baby footprints are a nice addition to any baby footprint art kit. They are real emotional ornaments that can carry so much warmth of expression and intimate meaning. The love for your baby, grandchild, nephew or niece is sometimes best shown through a few poetic words such as the examples below:
Little Footprints
“Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small,
And always leave my footprints
On furniture and floors.
But every day I’m growing,
I’ll be all grown up someday,
And all these tiny footprints
Will simply fade away.
So here’s a special footprint
Just so you can recall,
Exactly how my toes looked
When I was very small.”
Another wonderful poem that could be a great addition to your baby footprint gift ideas is this heartfelt piece by Kathy Dix:
Footprints
Today, upon my garden walk,
Where fresh cement was laid,
You pressed your little heels and toes
And barefoot prints were made.
Beside this funny pair of feet,
With small and sturdy hand,
You wrote your own initials as
You write them in the sand.
Though you’ll be growing up, my dear,
And leaving me someday,
These little footprints on the walk
Will never run away.
I’ll keep them here forever, in
This special place, apart,
Just like the little footprints you
Have left upon my heart.
Capturing your baby’s foot and hand prints into a unique and memorable piece of art makes a great gift for grandparents, for dad or even as a Mother’s Day gift.
