When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first 
painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, 
and I thought 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 I knew that little things are special things.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, 
and I believed there is a G-d I could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss 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 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 looked . . . . and wanted to say 
thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.
