They say that the only sure things Are death and taxes After gathering information and a bit of math practice and carefully filling out the forms And sending them in to various governments: Federal, State, and Local; After gathering resources and a lot of running practice And carefully filling out the registration forms And sending them in For the Boston Marathon - Who knew The end of the race would really be The End of the Race? Crowds cheered As the runners crossed the finish line And a few crossed over No doubt, to cheering crowds of angels And loved ones long past This is fresh news; and no one knows Who planted the bombs Or why They say that the only sure things Are death and taxes Who knew they’d both fall on the same day?

You did a wonderful job of depicting this tragic event. Your last 3 lines sum it up well. Well done. Love, Kim
