WHEN YOU THOUGHT I
WASN’T LOOKING
(Written by a former child)
A message every adult should
read, because children are
watching
you and doing as you do, not
as you say.
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 the 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 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.”
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT
Each of us (parent,
grandparent, aunt, uncle,
teacher or friend)
influences the life of a
child.
Especially now, at this
holiday season, how will you
touch the life of someone
today?
Happy Holidays From Angela
