~When you thought I wasn't looking, I Was 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
just 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 that 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 I just wanted
to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't
looking.
