When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

  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 goodnight,
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.
