As my heroes pass from the earth,
I wonder when my time will come,
the bagpipe chants a dirge, a melody,
the mournful drone, the beating of the drum.
Knighted by Queen Elizabeth
for stellar service to the world,
today, to honor Senator Kennedy,
flags at half-mast will be unfurled.
John and Bobby's lives were so short,
yet memories of their passion still inspire;
now, Teddy's gone, we've lost all three,
his legacy, his bravery, I always will admire.
Son of a family of public servants,
he walked in the deep footsteps of his elders;
now, with dignity and grace, his footsteps have gone ahead,
we will follow them for many years to come.
