WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING<br>
A message every adult should read because children<br>
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my<br>
first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately<br>
wanted to paint another one.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a<br>
stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind<br>
to animals.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my<br>
favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little<br>
things can be the special things in life.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a<br>
prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always<br>
talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a<br>
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I<br>
learned that we all have to help take care of each other.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care<br>
of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have<br>
to take care of what we are given.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you<br>
handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't<br>
feel good, and I learned that I would have to be<br>
responsible when I grow up.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come<br>
from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things<br>
hurt, but it's all right to cry.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you<br>
cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of<br>
life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and<br>
productive person when I grow up.<br>
When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and<br>
wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw<br>
when you thought I wasn't looking.<br>
