Poem For Mother's Day

Hey everyone,

I know, I know that Mother's Day was last Sunday. However, instead of
sending you my normal weekly humor, I thought I would send you this poem
concerning our mothers. Members from my drama team at church acted out
this poem last Sunday. While she read the poem, another member acted
out the words in a pantomine. I find it really touching. I asked the
team leader to send me a copy of the poem, so I can forward it to you.
I hope you like it. Take care!

-Josh.

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 wanted to paint another one.

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
just 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.
