It’s just a room

It’s just a room.

What would that room have seen? 

Sleepovers, studying, dinosaur battles and night time stories.

Even first kisses might have happened there.

It’s just a room.

Cots, bunk beds, Xboxes and night lights.

Sounds of laughter, whispering, music, and some crying would have happened there.

Take outs, cookies and spillages of fizzy juice would probably be a regular occurrence. 

Even beer would have been sneakily drank there I’m sure!

It’s just a room.

A grow line on the wall stretching from two feet to almost six feet tall. 

And all the sleepy dreams of theme parks, magical creatures, big bright bustling cities and tropical beaches.

A whole childhood, from a tiny toddler to a towering teen would have happened there. 

It’s just a room.

A room that should be yours.

It should have seen your laughter, your friends,  your bed time stories and all your wildest dreams. 

Your childhood. 

You.

Safe and sound.

Growing up.

It’s never just a room.
