I wrote a poem about this picture for my English class. "A homeless boy sleeping inside the train" An innocent little face lying all alone hard to believe someone would miss a little boy with no home no one around to make sure he's okay no one there to make him smile or even make sure he gets to school everyday It’s hard to even imagine the hard times he’s going through not knowing when his next meal is or even if someone will even help him make-do Wondering the streets all alone and freezing all the kids looking and pointing but they don't know how bad his heart is aching. Would you stop and listen to a little boy alone on the train would you let him tell you his story or even tell you his name? I really love this picture.

If everyone would just take a moment to care, maybe his life would be more important. Maybe disposable children would not exist. I just want to find him, bring him home and show him what it is like to have a mother.

His entire life, including home, food, medicine and education could easily be funded for the same amount it takes to build one patriot missile.

Someone finally put a picture to the term "disposeable children". Over the years I have seen so many of these children in the city where I used to live. I managed to help only six of them. Two of them are dead now, the other four are grown and doing well. Mostly because they struggled and got themselves an education and a good job. This says a great deal about our humanity as a nation and as an individual. Yes, I believe we are our brothers keeper if they are physically or mentally unable to take care of themselves. This excludes the ones who con others and are to lazy to work to survive.

I so hope this child has found a safe place to sleep. I will bookmark it and return to this image when I complain about having "too much"

Love this quiet moment captured in this photo...reminds me of my trip to Yogyakarta after a busy night trip from Jakarta when the train stops you just want to take a 5 minute rest before another journey starts.

This was a moving picture of a moment in humanity.
