POEMS FROM THE HEART

I Wonder How Many Died Today I heard on the news today; A report from the war They said a hundred had lost their lives; Maybe even more But there's a war they never report on; It's the battle for man's soul And though the casualties are much higher; The story is seldom told I wonder how many died today; In the battle for man's soul How many were not ready; How many were lost I wonder what I could have done: To have changed the outcome What could I have done; To have saved even one So I will put...
