When I Wasn't Looking
Right before my eyes
You inhaled your first breath
Uttered your first words
And took your first steps
You inhaled your first breath
Uttered your first words
And took your first steps
Right before my eyes
You grew over five feet tall
Learned to read and write
To walk and not fall
When I wasn't looking
You cultivated a personality
Figured out likes and dislikes
Gained your sense of originality
When I wasn't looking
You developed character and integrity
Learned to stand on your own
And how to over come adversity
When I wasn't looking
You constructed an exquisite heart
Became the beautiful, young woman
God intended from the start
