TJ scared us both
by hiding real good,
which sent us into
quite a panicked mood.
We thought he was gone,
somehow disappeared.
It wasn’t quite right.
It all seemed so weird.
He was playing fine,
and then he was gone.
He wasn’t out back
or on the front lawn.
He was hiding out
by the piano,
behind some boxes
and laying quite low.
It was a feeling,
I’ll never forget.
One I hope other
parents never get.
