When you thought I wasn't looking

o you ever feel like your children are oblivious to the hours and effort
you spend doing everything in the world for them? I do.
I know that my kids do watch me. In fact, I often-times think I am
training
parrots as my kids mimic everything they see and hear. And I quite often
think I am looking at a mirror when I see how my children reflect
attitudes,
mannerisms, words and actions.
But, sometimes, it seems like my children just don't notice, understand
or
appreciate the countless number of times that I do something to help
them,
to take care of them, to make them feel special or to simply be nice.
And then
I am left to my downcast feelings about the whole situation (e.g.
feeling
sorry for myself).
In those times, it is important to remember that children do see more
than
they let on and much more than we realize. They notice much of what we
do, even when we don't think they are looking. For your encouragement,
read the following poem written from a child to her mom.
When You Thought I Wasn't Looking
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 very special in life.
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 need to help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking…
I saw you give your time and money to help people who had nothing,
and I learned that everyone can make a difference.
When you thought I wasn't looking…
I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it,
and I learned the importance of FAMILY.
When you thought I wasn't looking…
I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel
and I learned that I would need to be responsible when I grew up.
When you thought I wasn't looking…
I sometimes saw tears come from your eyes,
and I learned there are things that can hurt, yet it's O.K. to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking…
I saw that you truly cared about people,
and I wanted to be everything that I could possibly be
to follow in your footsteps.
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."
