When You
Thought I Wasn’t
Looking
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
You hung my painting on the refrigerator
And I wanted to paint another one.

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 is a God 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 it’s all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn’t looking.
You smiled
And I wanted 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 I wanted to say ”thanks”
For all those things you did
When you thought I wasn’t looking.
