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 immediately wanted to

paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I heard 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 favorite 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 that there is a God i could always talk to,

and i learned to trust in 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 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 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 hurt,

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"
