When you thought no one was looking....

 

 

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 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 (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher or friend) influences the life of a child /person 

 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 .
