When You Thought I Wasn't Looking
by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan
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 all right 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.
