cake

things in life.

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 good night
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 its 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 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
