When you thought I wasn't looking, you hung my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another.
When you thought I wasn't looking, you fed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
	When you thought I wasn't looking, you baked a birthday cake just for me, and I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking, you said a prayer, and I believed there was a God that I could always talk to.
	When you thought I wasn't looking, you kissed 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 that it's alright to cry.
	When you thought I wasn't looking, you smiled, and it made me want to look that pretty too.
When you thought I wasn't looking, you cared, and I wanted to be everything I could be.
	When you thought I wasn't looking-- I looked...and wanted to say, thanks for all those things you did, When you thought I wasn't looking.
