For Jewaira
( . . .And for all Mother’s who wonder if they are making a difference. . . )
When you thought I wasn’t looking
Author: Unknown
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 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 that there was a God to 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 alright 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 I wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw
when you thought I wasn’t looking.

Do you have a choice as to who provides your internet service? I use QualityNet, and Jewaira is not blocked, although some other random things are. And if you have minimally tech-savvy friends, there are alternate ways to access the Internet that are not censored. . .
Oh, what lovely words! Very moving….and uplifting 🙂
I always wondered if I had done enough, and if I had done it “right”. I found the poem very encouraging, especially when the self-absorbed teen years hit. Aaaaarrrgh!
