( Ted Kennedy 1932-2009 )


Poem Artwork

 

 

You have departed from us to go and make heaven a more liberal place. You may now rest with John and Bobby. Your footsteps are permanent imprints of truth. You fought like a swordsman.

The red, white, and blue is half-staffed and saddened. Father, his impression was felt - and his message was delivered. Not one of us is free ... until we are all unchained.

This one reaches out and squeezes the heart - undone by the power in these lines of mourning. Well done, Harold.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Short, sad, and crisply delivers the message. Reading you for the first time, and you pack a lot of punch in every word your verses toe.
