When you though I wasn't looking you hung my first painting on the refridgerator, and I wanted to paint another.
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 was a God that I could always talk to.
When you though I wasn't looking you kissed me goodnight, 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 that it's alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking you smiled, and it made me want 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 wanted to say thanks for all those things you did when you thought I wasn't looking.
