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.
