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 watch the little birds in the nest, 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 cup cakes 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 saw you make a snack
and take it to your friends at work, and I learned that we all have to
help take care of each
other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you cleaning the
house and I learned we have to take care of what we are
given.
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."
