By A
Child....
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 little things
can be the special things in life.
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 felt you kiss me
good night, and I felt loved and safe.
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."
