i did not

a few weeks ago when i was making dinner 

i looked out my kitchen window at the sink 

and saw brennan sitting on the little kid picnic table.

he must have snuck off outside while i was switching the laundry.

this is what i was thinking.

i went to go call him back inside for homework,

but when i opened the door i could hear zac.

playing guitar on his back steps and singing.

and that's when i realized that brennan was just sitting there in secret.

listening.

it was so quiet outside.

you couldn't hear anything else.

i don't know if i've ever seen brennan be so still ever.

and in the busy world he's growing up in,

i thought about how rare it is to just sit and listen.

i did not call him back to his homework;)
