B Strong... Again

Lt. Edward Walsh and Michael Kennedy

Red Sox are in Boston; their Home Opener's today

And my lucky sister gets to go and see them play...

Watch them get their rings and raise the banner in the park.

We could use our Red Sox - Boston's mood is rather dark.

We've just buried firemen from Engine 33,

Ladder 15: Edward Walsh and Michael Kennedy.

Rushed into a burning building, as such heroes do.

(Both were 1st responders when the Marathon bombs blew.)

Game today is dedicated to the men we've lost.

Sox hope we can start to heal when that 1st pitch is tossed.

P.S. To my sister; If you run into Ortiz,

Don't forget to look into the Samsung and say "Cheese!"
