When you thought I wasn't looking
you hung my first painting on the refrigerator
and I wanted to paint another.
When you thought I wasn't looking
you fed a stray cat
and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking
you baked a birthday cake just for me
and I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking
you said a prayer
and I believed there was a God that I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn't looking
you kissed me good-night
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 that it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking
you smiled, and it made me want to look that pretty, too.
When you thought I wasn't looking
you cared, and I wanted to be everything I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking
I looked...
and wanted to say thanks for all those
things you did when you thought I wasn't looking.
This page is dedicated to my mother...
and all mothers...who thought we weren't looking.
