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 that 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. 

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.
