WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN’T LOOKING
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator
and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you feed a stray cat,
and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you make my favourite cake for me
and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I heard you say a prayer,
and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust in God.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight,
and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick,
and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you give your time and money to
help people who had nothing
and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don’t.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it
and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when
you didn’t feel good
and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw tears come from your eyes
and I learned that sometimes things hurts, but it’s all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw that you cared
And I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I learned most of life’s lessons that I need to
know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I looked at you and wanted to say,

"Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking".
Little eyes see a lot.
