( 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.
