Tranquil seas they oft' beckoned to me~ <br /> <br />From the deep fathoms yes they did call~ <br /> <br />Echo's of a peaceful sapphire ocean~ <br /> <br />Reverberated against New Englands vast tidal wall; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Oh the days could be so idyllic~ <br /> <br />As were the calm seas of yesterdays lore~ <br /> <br />Where happiness 'twas e'er so deep and undeniable~ <br /> <br />Back in the days of yore; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Oh the halcyon days upon the New England waters~ <br /> <br />Sailing off cape Cod as in days and years before~ <br /> <br />And at the wheel you could find me-'The Captain' <br /> <br />On my way 'cross the deeps Neptune ruled floor; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The salt air 'twas oh so invigorating~ <br /> <br />Breathing in Cape Cods most salty breeze~ <br /> <br />Sailing upon tranquilitys waters away from tragedy~ <br /> <br />With so much serenity- it would bring me to my knees; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Now I am sailing upon the Sea Of Eternity~ <br /> <br />The Shamrock sails are up and at the ready-the go~ <br /> <br />Sail on-sail on- beloved Lion of our hearts~ <br /> <br />You're now at peace with John, Bobby and your mother Rose... <br /> <br /> <br />Dedicated to: <br />Beloved Senator Edward M. Kennedy <br />Born February 22,1932 <br />Died August 25,2009 <br />Buried with his brothers John and Bobby <br />Arlington national Cemetary-Arlington Viginia <br /> <br />Gone but not forgotten. <br />We Love You!<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/halcyon-days-of-our-teddy/
