Default When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
(Written by a former child)

children are watching
you and doing as you do, not as you say.

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 learned 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
the 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 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 all right to cry.

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."

PEOPLE DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS AND
THINK NO ONE EVER SEES.

LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT.

Thumbs up

My grandson has taught me a lot in two short years while I have been watching him. Waking up smiling because you are surronded by people that love you. Skipping just to skip. The beauty all around me if I just look. The joy of playing with a cardboard box and banging on pans . Taking baths with half my stuff in the tub and hugging people through out the day. Opa the blessed
