When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

I saw this poem on one of my old books and I thought this is worth posting. This is to inspire mothers like me. Yes, every little thing we do for our kids are appreciated... even if it seems like nobody sees them and nobody cares.

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 just 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 believe there is God I could always talk to.


When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss 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 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.
