Mary Rita Schilke Korzan wrote When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking to her mother 24 years ago, thanking her for all she had done as a mother, friend, and role model. She gave the poem to her mother and, a few months later, offered it as a tribute when Mary and her husband were married. So many wedding guests asked for a copy that Mary included one in her thank-you notes. Then began the strange and heartwarming journey of Mary’s poem to her mom. Friends passed it on to those they knew. A minister in her hometown couldn’t recall who gave it to him, but he included the by-then “anonymously written” poem in his book about loving others. Another author picked it up from there for her compilation of heartfelt works, and Mary finally noticed her poem, now listed as “Author Unknown,”
When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking is a message every adult should read because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
