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 goodnight, and I
felt loved.
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 I wanted to say thanks for all the things
I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.
