Just down the hall are two people that know what my heart beat sounds like from the inside of my body.
Just down the hall are two hearts I got to carry and forever will.
Just down the hall are two little people, with determination and stubbornness and love.
Just down the hall, they are dreaming...of their day, of their hopes, of their fears.
Just down the hall, they are safe, they are snuggled, they are still with us.
Just down the hall, they are resting, they are tired, they are gearing up for tomorrow.
Just down the hall, they are breathing deep, their curls meshed to their face, their comfort so obvious.
Just down the hall, is love that I did not expect.
Just down the hall, plans I did not think to make.
Just down the hall, lies worry wrapped in small.
Just down the hall, the weight of family is so heavy and so freeing.
Just down the hall, defines family.
Just down the hall, is concern.
Just down the hall is childhood.
Just down the hall is happy.
Just down the hall, they are curled up, both sleeping on their side, both roll over when kissed one final time, both whisper from their dreams.
Just down the hall, you will find my insecurities.
You will find a part of me.
You will find my fears.
You will find my hope.
You will find my smile.
You will find my peace.
You will find my second chance.
You will find my kids, my two crazy kids.
And when I finally put my head down, my last thoughts are,
just down the hall.
