Finger Play

By Edith Goodyear.



The little space 'twixt fingers & thumbs

Is round as a circle you see!

While in there, a tiny square

Shows corners four to me.



Circles are like daisies while,

Like pennies, candies and plates,

Like Grandma's cookies and pumpkin pies;

And best of all, the pretty blue

In Baby's laughing eyes.



The square makes me think of the rug where he sits

On the nursery floor at play;

Of the lawn where he rolls in the sunshine bright,

And the dainty spread that covers his bed

When he's fast asleep at night.
