When You Thought I Wasn't Looking - by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan
Poetry is emotional shortform.
When you thought I wasn’t looking You hung my first painting on the refrigerator And I wanted to paint another.
When you thought I wasn’t looking You fed a stray cat And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn’t looking You baked a birthday cake just for me And I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn’t looking You said a prayer And I believed there was a God that I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn’t looking You kissed me good-night 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 that it’s alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn’t looking You smiled And it made me want to look that pretty too.
When you thought I wasn’t looking You cared And I wanted to be everything I could be.
When you thought I wasn’t looking— I looked . . . And wanted to say thanks For all those things you did When you thought I wasn’t looking. Libellés : literature
