HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

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 just

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 good night

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.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked

and wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw

when you thought I wasn't looking.
