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 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 care,
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.
Today I am mostly thankful for the mother I have. She is my best friend, I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She stabilizes me and even though many times she doesn't understand my irrational thoughts she tries and she values the few differences we have. My mom truely knows many times before I do that something is wrong with me. Thank you mom for always being there for me. Taylor Swift wrote a song for her mother that makes me think of my mom. It is call Best Day. The other day I picked up my mom because one of my favorite things to do with my mom is go shopping for flowers. So we spent a few hours together picking out flowers for this years flower beds. She will never know what those few hours meant to me. We both share a passion for beautiful flowers of all kinds. Mostly wild and colorful flowers. I think she likes them because they remind her of me (yes I am kinda wild and colorful). I like them because they remind me of all the times I would sit next to my mom when I was growing up and we would weed all those stinking crab grass and morning glories out of our flower beds. At the same time she was teaching me so much. Mom just being with you driving from nursery to nursery looking at all the flowers are my best days. I love asking you questions that I will never remember the answers to. I wish I could transfer all your knowledge into my mind. Thank you for all the things you have taught me and thank you for loving me so unconditionally even through the times that I was not so loveable. I hope I am making up for them now. Thanks for everything, thanks for believing in me and loving me! Thank you for being such a wonderful grandmother to my children. They love you so much and you have given them great reason to love you. Happy Mother's Day!
