Mccullen Vs Coakley

She was so close at hand yet so far in spirit She didn't understand and she just didn't want to hear it On the side walks of Boston and just 35 feet away She just started to run so she didn't have to hear them pray But one woman in the crowd with but a Rosary in her hand Suddenly she cried out really loud "My Dear Child I understand" Not really in her direct sight but just off to her side view She knew this lady was right in having these feelings she knew She looked at the entrance then looked towards the lady's way Beginning to lighten her stance as she heard "it is for you I pray" Turning around just feet away the woman now looking into her eyes In the balance what does lay supported by such fragile ties With her hand outstretched tears running down her face In her face was the pain etched for a love that you can not replace She simply clutched her shivering hand and gathered herself quickly "Oh yes I do understand in knowing the pain that you can't see"
