When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

Mommy and Daddy got this poem yesterday at our pre-baptism class. It made Mommy cry, not because she was sad, because it made her think about us and how much she loves us. We wanted to share it with you because we love all of you!

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.
