" When you thought I wasn't looking "

 

When you thought I wasn’t looking...

 

When you thought I wasn’t looking...
You hung my first painting on the refrigerator
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 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 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...?
