Wasn't Looking

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
 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 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.
