I am home at last br remembering the freezing air outside br now smiling laying warm in bed br thanking heaven br for having blessed me br with a roof over my head br as i fall into slumber br my thought with the innocent little ones br the old and frail br forced to live in informal settlements br my smile slowly fading br when finally over come by a deep sleep br br looking into tearful eyes br skimpily dressed and bare feet br little hand reaching out br as vision of fades br with a start br eyes open wide br slumber has shown br it could have been mebr br persian khushibr br
