When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

Part 1 of 3 (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 was a God or
a Higher Power I could always talk
to and I learned to trust in that Power.

Little Eyes See A Lot
Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher or friend) influence the life of a child. 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.
