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



 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 isn'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 le arned
 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 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 y ou thought I
 wasn't looking."

 I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE
 I KNOW WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS AND
 THINK NO ONE EVER SEES.

 LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT.

 Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle,
 teacher or friend) influence the life of a child.
 How will you touch the life of someone today?
