When You Thought
Sunday, March 26th, 2006| I am The Way I am |
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hanging my first painting on the fridge,
and I immediately wanted to draw another one.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you feed a stray dog,
and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you making my favourite cake for me,
and I learned that the little things can be special thing in life.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick,
and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it,
and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn’t feel good,
and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw tears come from your eyes,
and I learned that sometime 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 saw you love me so deeply and I wanna love you back more than you love me.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I looked at you and wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking"
