WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
A message every adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
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 feed a stray cat,
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 cake 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 that there is a God I could always talk to,
and I learned to trust in Him.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned
that we all have to help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of
your time and money to help people who had nothing,
and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it,
and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you
handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good,
and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.
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.'
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT ...
