twinself - Thanks for sharing this poem. I like the perspective and thought that went into it :-)

Great poem about a very real problem.. homelessness.. I actually have known people to whom a refrigerator box.. was HOME.. and they were the lucky ones..

Thank You all for your very encouraging comments. I have just *visited* the poetry section and was pleasantly surprised: I had forgotten writing this at all. Hope you're all keeping well!

You're welcome Spartacus. Guess I should start visiting the Poetry section more often.. it's people's souls all over.

Elo, nonsmoker and rapture.... thanks for reading.

I guess indeed, it's about humbleness..not taking things for granted...and counting our blessings and not our lack.

Hope you enjoyed New Year's day, and may the rest of it bring you health, love and serenity, in no particular order...

Thank You fjames.... glad you enjoyed. All the best for You and Yours.. Twin

Thanks for reading poetnumber1...

It is also my favourite line. When I wrote it, I had a mental picture of myself, as a homeless person, standing outside in the bitter cold, looking through the window of a warm dining room, whilst a family was enjoying its Christmas gathering.

Thank you all, for the warm welcome. I don't consider myself a poet, but I feel at home here, sharing some of my thoughts and feelings about the world, and the human psyche... I feel warm good-hearted people posting here... no arguments, no picking on people, no gender bashing etc... I like the atmosphere.

Bless You all..

Twin a very thoughtful poem. Like a tribute to those that are mostly unnoticed. Has anybody gone out without a coat under -20 degrees?.... Can you imagine having a cardboard box as a roof? It's your whole world. SM
