Namaste all _/\_

 

I received this forwarded e-mail from a friend:

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING

(Written by a 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 everythin g 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 THAT 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?
