***WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING***
>
>
> When you thought I wasn't looking you hung my first painting on the
> refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another.
>
> When you thought I wasn't looking you fed a stray cat, and I thought
> it was good to be kind to animals.
>
> When you thought I wasn't looking you baked a birthday cake just for
> me, and I knew that little things were special things.
>
> When you thought I wasn't looking you said a prayer, and I believed
> there was a God that I could always talk to.
>
> When you thought I wasn't looking you kissed 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 that it's all right to
> cry.
>
> When you thought I wasn't looking you smiled, and it made me want to
> look that pretty, too.
>
> When you thought I wasn't looking you cared, and I wanted to be
> everything I could be.
>
> When you thought I wasn't looking--I looked . . . and wanted to say
> thanks for all those things you did when you thought I wasn't
> looking.
