NICE ONE THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE
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 learned most of life's
lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive
person when I grow up.
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) 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.
"Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures,
but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set
yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you
persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming
obstacles."
*Helen Keller-author*
