This poem is written by Samantha McNabb, a13 year old avid runner. She has been running 5k since she was in 5K (kindergarden).
She has dedicated this to those who were killed and injured on April 15,2013 at the Boston Marathon.
We woke up today happy and ready,
But end it in silence and tears.
After harsh 26.2 they finished
Over the line they went.
When sadly dozens of lives were changed.
Some to eternity to ever live.
Dozens to a hospital bed,
Fighting for their lives.
A day can change everything,
So many families have found.
Children lying in bed sleepless
Knowing they will never see
Mommy or daddy.
Spouses pacing the hospital waiting room
Crying, praying, hoping.
As an American, my prayers are to you.
My tears for you, my hope for you.
I and so many others are praying for you.
Sami McNabb
