How Many?

How many lives were changed today?
We saw her car
Upside down
Firemen all around
Cutting the metal away

How many lives were changed today?
The man behind the wheel
Chose to speed
Now indeed
His life altered forever

How many lives were changed today?
The flood waters rise
Once thought secure
Nothing for sure
As life's possessions go under

How many lives were changed today?
A diagnosis made
Once unaware
Now laid bare
Life never to be the same.

How many lives were changed today?
Mother and daughter - an hour in prayer
Declaring, seeking
Asking, beseeching
For lives to be changed today.
