Who's Peeking
When you thought no one was looking,
A prayer I heard you fervently whispering,
Beside my bed thinking I was sound asleep
I loved your presence an never let out a peep
When you thought no one was looking,
I watched you hang my first drawing
On the fridge and I grabbed my brush
To paint you another one in a rush
When you thought no one was looking
I seen you feed a lost dog that was starving
An learned it was good to be kind to animals
To always treat God's creatures as individuals
When you thought no one was looking,
I saw you secretly in the kitchen working
Baking my favorite cake as a little surprise
I learned doing little things in life was wise
When you thought no one was looking,
For a sick friend, a meal i seen you cooking
And learned we all have to care for each other.
Cuz in this world we will all need one another
When you thought no one was looking,
I seen you help people who had nothing
I saw you give of your money an time
And I learned that charity was sublime
When you thought no one was looking,
I seen you appraise and want everything
In ths life that you could possibly give to me
And would scrimp an sacrifice to make it be
When you thought no one was looking
I seen how life's responsibilities were wearing,
When I seen a quiet tear falling from your eye
I learned life can hurt, and that it's all right to cry
When you thought no one was looking,
Life's lessons were absorbed as i was watching
I learned, to be a good and productive person
An to strangers I met not to have any aversions
When I knew you weren't looking
I waited to say, "Mom, thanks for the loving,
And all the time and care you expended on me
That I saw when you thought I wasn't looking."
