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 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 heard you say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust Him.


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 felt you kiss me goodnight and I felt safe and loved. 

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned that 
sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry.

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."
