WHEN YOU
THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
(Written by a former child)
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 there
is a God I could always talk to and
I learned to trust in God.
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."
