The eyes have it.

There are no seven wonders in the eyes of a child. There are seven million.


Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?



My eyes are an ocean in which my dreams are reflected.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you hang up 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 I 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 wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.
