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 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.
