We can’t possibly outline the numerous, 300 or more, bills that Senator Edward Moors “Ted” Kennedy wrote and made into law. Most people may not fully appreciate the difficulty in getting legislation passed. Well, if you can’t, think about the trouble the Obama’s Government seems to be having with the Heath care Bill now

The Lion Of The Senate

This death, although we tried to prepare

Has grabbed tightly, people everywhere

Every political figure and every constituent

Lost this iconic figure and his needed involvement

I watched closely and read how he

Organized bipartisanship and caused both sides to agree

No other senator served in this way

Only he made crossing sides seem okay

Forty seven year he worked hard to enact legislation

The Cancer, Disabilities, Civil Rights Acts. Nationality and Immigration

Health Insurance, Children’s Health program, Mental Health Parity

Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, most recently

Senator Kennedy worked with President Bush, the two parties combined

Enacted in 2002 an educational Act, No Children Left Behind

Numerous other bills, over 300, in his political odyssey

Are now part of the Lion’s great legacy

Ted passed the torch to Barack before he passed away

Expecting Americans will enjoy Universal Health Care soon, one day
