Quick Tribute

I just learned the somber news today
Senator Ted Kennedy has passed away
Up till his death, still ready to fight
Trying to get our healthcare right
So many of his family had gone before
But he fought his illness to give us more

Still not ready to lose Teddy

I Care

How do I show I care?
With a smile
A wink
A tug of the hair

How do I show I care?
With my time
For friends
I try to be there

How do I show I care?
With trusting
To tell
The secrets I bear

How do I show I care?
With money
For those
Who need me to share

How do I show I care?
With my faith
I help
In saying a prayer

How do I show I care?
With amends
To end
The cold, angry glare

How do I show I care?
With a song
To make
Others more aware

How do I show I care?
With a dream
To fix
That which seems unfair
