.....looking

 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 believed there is a God I could always talk to.

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

When you think they aren't looking, do they see Christ in your life ?

"I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me." Galatians 2:20
