Flat Fire In Istanbul

Picture the scene a flat is raging with fire Caused by an electrical fault or loose wire A open window is the route to escape Old in structure and square in shape The mother cries to the people below My children need saving them I must throw Blankets were thrown to soften the blow Hard to comprehend this story I know The children were safe and mother was too A burning flat in Istanbul the story is true Without doubt all are very lucky to survive Grateful for sure to be living and alive
