When You Thought I Wasn't Looking
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 immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I Iearned that 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 learned that little things can be the special things in life
When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust in God.
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 give of your time and money to help people who had nothing and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss me good night and I felt loved and safe.
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 sometimes things hurt, but it's alright 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 learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.
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.'" - anonymous

The things we love, remember and cherish the most are those things that people think we don't notice.
One thing I always noticed is my moms hands. I think of how much she has used them to give us a clean home, a warm cooked meal, a warm tub to take a bath in, fresh sheets to sleep in, and holding my brother and I when we were oh so young.
Thanks for sharing this with us Lynn.

Wendy,
I am lucky enough to receive wonderful poems and jokes and stories from my friends in my emails. And in the course of my surfing or research I find priceless works such as this. And I share them, there will be many who have read them before, and there will be many who read them for the first time. Either way, I hope it brings a smile to their face or brings back a pleasant memory :) Lynn
