Aine sits in our big chair, Her legs stretched out, Her feet are bare; I'm counting ten wee toes for her, Toes I love so dear. They lead her from the crib to stairs, Though never far from loving care; Those ten wee toes we love so dear, Will take her far, Will lead her there. They'll get ***** in the garden While laughing in the rain; They'll be her fins When she swims, They'll wiggle When she sings. They'll tap out eighths and quarters When she plays her songs; She'll slip them into runners For a race to last life-long. They'll get cold on the rink When she plays our game; We'll rub those toes quite vigorously To warm the ice-cold sting. They'll fit right into heels and pumps When she plays her game; But for me those liddle toes of hers Will always be the same.

Aine's Toes
Aine sits in our big chair, Her legs stretched out, Her feet are bare; I'm counting ten wee toes for her, Toes I love so dear. They lead her from the crib to stairs, Though never far from loving care; Those ten wee toes we love so dear, Will take her far, Will lead her there. They'll get ***** in the garden While laughing in the rain; They'll be her fins When she swims, They'll wiggle When she sings. They'll tap out eighths and quarters When she plays her songs; She'll slip them into runners For a race to last life-long. They'll get cold on the rink When she plays our game; We'll rub those toes quite vigorously To warm the ice-cold sting. They'll fit right into heels and pumps When she plays her game; But for me those liddle toes of hers Will always be the same.
