I Wasn't Looking ... by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan 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 You hung my first painting on the refrigerator And I wanted to paint another. When you thought I wasn't looking You fed a stray cat And I thought it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking You baked a birthday cake just for me And I knew that little things were special things. When you thought I wasn't looking You said a prayer And I believed there was a God that I could always talk to. When you thought I wasn't looking You kissed me good-night 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 that it's alright to cry. When you thought I wasn't looking You smiled And it made me want to look that pretty too. When you thought I wasn't looking You cared And I wanted to be everything I could be. When you thought I wasn't looking -- I looked ... And wanted to say thanks For all those things you did When you thought I wasn't looking. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be. ----- Mary Rita Schilke Korzan ©1980 There is a wonderful, touching story behind this poem.
