When you thought I wasn't looking,

and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

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

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.'
I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE
I KNOW WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS AND
THINK NO ONE EVER SEES.
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT
Each of us (parents, greatgrandparents,grandparents,
aunts, uncles, teachers or friends) influence the life of a child.
How will you touch the life of someone today?
Just by sending this to someone else,
you will probably make them at least
think about their influence on others?
EVERY choice/decision we make not only effects
our lives but the lives of so many others.
Excellent. Thanks for reminding us.

I received this a few months ago, and I put it in a folder that I have, for things like this.
