A compassionate and tender poem. The image of the red toy truck is heartbreaking. Yes, one holds onto hope.

This is a terrific poem, Poddar. Shocking and heart wrenching. The words are powerful, and penetrating. Painful event.

Wow! You've gone and done it again. This was very sad. The imagery it provoked as I read it made me hold my breath.

Futile hope is the worst. This poem says so much in a short few lines.
In this line did you mean "quiet" rather than "quite"?
Love your work, Poddar.

You have said so much in a few words and painted a devastating picture with your words. Human hope is there to the very end for the child who dies....or the rescuers. Hope is life.
