When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

Mrs. Paige and Mrs. Becky read this to us
the other day at the tea party at Wee School....
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Happy Mother's Day!



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 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 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 was 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 goodnight,
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 tears com from your eyes,
and learned that sometimes things
hurt and it's all right to cry.

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.
