One More Yak

Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the youngest sister of Senator Ted Kennedy and deceased President John F Kennedy, the Mother to the Special Olympic and mother also to famed Maria Shriver wife of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger died at 88 years. We never know enough about these people until they have died. I look forward to learning more about this incredible woman

 

One More Yak

 

Our lives are better because Eunice Kennedy Shriver

Never gave up teaching us we are our brother’s keeper

Eunice loved all and those with special needs she had no shame

Mothered the Special Olympics and ensured we treated all the same

Once she showed up you always knew who was there

Regardless to the occasion her character was the same everywhere

Eunice threw in her passion and played a colossus role

Yet remained humble as she encouraged all to one goal

A better place this world ought to be

Kept this goal and taught it to her global family
