First Boston

When we got the news we were not totally shocked

          When we got the news a marathon was a surprise

          When we got the news speculation in families came 

          When we got the news there were worries of our own 

          When we got the news with a funeral and London marathon 

          When we have relatives in Town - London - worry always there

          When we got the news we living in 'First Boston' thought of the 

          'First City' of Boston in proud Commonwealth of Massachusetts 

          We send our sympathy and urge justice in these irrational times.
