Mother's Day

  When you thought I wasn't looking

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you cleaning the living room even though you’re sick and I learnt that life is hard.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you baking cupcakes for my afternoon tea and I learnt that you care for me.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you giving flowers to the neighbours when their grandma was having an operation and I learnt that you share love for others.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you prepared the meal for dad and I learnt that you have to serve one another.

When you thought I wasn't listening, I heard you pray over me and give me a good night kiss and I felt love and safe.

When you thought I wasn't looking,I saw tears come from your eyes and I learnt that sometimes things hurt and its alright to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you doing all your responsibilities and I learnt that its a tough being a good mother.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you studying the things to become a receptionist and I learnt that even if life is hard, we all need to try are best.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you looking after grandma and I learnt that you have to take care of your parents because they took good care of you.

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.”
