Hail Mary Grace that was yours Grace of soul, of spirit Stalled suddenly by stray bullet. Hail Mary… One more bead Drawn and centered You the center Always the center Center of it all. Hail Mary, beads slip through fingers, You slipped through our hands Through the sands, Into the sand and into the hands of Our Father, who art in heaven Glory be thy name Hallowed ground Hollowed dirt Honor exchanged for hope Graceless bargain, Thy will be done.

Rosary for Matthew
Hail Mary Grace that was yours Grace of soul, of spirit Stalled suddenly by stray bullet. Hail Mary… One more bead Drawn and centered You the center Always the center Center of it all. Hail Mary, beads slip through fingers, You slipped through our hands Through the sands, Into the sand and into the hands of Our Father, who art in heaven Glory be thy name Hallowed ground Hollowed dirt Honor exchanged for hope Graceless bargain, Thy will be done.
