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 thought 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 knew that little things are special things.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I heard you say a prayer
and
I believed there is a God I could always talk to.

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 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 looked
and
Wanted to say thanks
For all the things I saw
When you thought I wasn't looking.
