WHEN U THOUGHT I WASN’T LOOKING

(Written by a former child) … A message every adult shuld read, coz children are watching u n doin as u do, not as u say…

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I saw u hang my
first painting on the refrigerator, n I immediately wanted
to paint another one.

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I saw u feed a
stray cat, n I learned that it was good to be kind
to animals.

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I saw u make my
favorite cake for me n I learned that the little things can be
the special things in life.

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I heard u say a
prayer, n I knew there is a God I could always
talk to n I learned to trust in God.

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I saw u make a
meal n take it to a friend who was sick, n I
learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I saw u give of
ur time n money to help people who had nothing
n I learned that those who have something should
give to those who don’t.

When u 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 u thought I wasn’t looking, I saw how you
handled ur responsibilities, even when you didn’t
feel good and I learned that I would have to be
responsible when I grow up.

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I saw tears come
from ur eyes and I learned tat sometimes things
hurt, but it’s all right to cry.

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I saw that u
cared n I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I learned most of
life’s lessons tat I need to know to be a good

When u thought I wasn’t looking, I looked at u
and wanted to say, “Thanks for all the things I saw
when you thought I wasn’t looking.”
