BOSTON, BOSTON, MY LOVELY CITY

Boston, Boston, My Lovely City

 

 

Oh, how I remember walking down your streets, my lovely city.

Filled with legends and folklore.

Filled with history of days gone by.

Attending sports events.

Rooting for the home teams.

Knowing each player's number.

Knowing each coach's face.

Oh, how my heart aches for you, my lovely city.

Torn by a terrorist's bomb.

Torn by a gunman's shot.

Riddled with explosive debris.

Shattered by a pressure cooker filled with deadly parts.
 

Oh, how Our Lord watched over you, my lovely city.

Oh, how you were protected from further danger.

So many came to the rescue of all.

Giving of selfless means.

Five dead, should have been none.

Five dead, could have been more.

 

We pray for

      physicians and patients

      patriotism of people

      preparedness of police

      punishment for perpetrator

      peace restored in hearts

 

Oh, Lord, send comfort to friends and relatives in

      Quincy and Braintree

      Taunton and Scituate

      Hudson and Dorchester

      Whitman and Cape Cod

 

Gratitude to all who helped. Healing to all who were injured.

 

Be Strong, Boston, Be Strong.

PLACES IN TUCSON SHOWING MY BOOK, SMALL WHITE HEARTS

Many new places are going to show my new book, Small White Hearts. That is so exciting.

Most Holy Trinity Church in Tucson has allowed me to have a table after all services on Saturday, July 21, and Sunday, July 22. I will have a chance to visit with people I haven't seen for a while.

My daughters Suzanne Morrison and Beth Carrillo will be helping me out.  They have been excellent cheerleaders. They will also be helping me out when I am at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Tucson on August 4 and 5.

The third place I will be is at Sacred Heart Church in Tucson on August 11 and 12. Also on the 11th, I will be at Mostly Books, 6208 E. Speedway Blvd, Tucson, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at a signing table. Everyone is welcome to all events and encouraged to bring a friend.

On the last blog, I shared that my 96-year-old Aunt Elsie Santos from Taunton, MA, was greatly enjoying my book. Now there are 3 more 90-year-olds reading Sweet White Hearts. The youngest reader is my 16 year-old granddaughter.

How wonderful to see such a wide range of interest. The Lord said this is to spread to all corners of the world.www.smallwhitehearts.com
