What a Child Sees

Subject: What a child sees---when you think they're not looking...Very sweet

  • 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 looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that 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 felt you kiss me goodnight, and I felt loved and safe. 
  • When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned 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 you thought I wasn't looking! 
  • Always remember: Each of us -- as a parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt or friend -- influences the life of a child.
