The funeral of Eunice Kennedy Shriver

for mrs. eunice kennedy shriver -

a quote from to bless the space between us - a book of poems by

john o'donohue - an irish poet:

may there be some beautiful surprise

waiting for you inside death

something you never knew or felt,

which with one simple touch

absolves you of all loneliness and loss,

as you quicken within the embrace

for which your soul was eternally made.

may your heart be speechless

at the sight of the truth

of all your belief had hoped,

your heart breathless

in the light and lightness

where each and every thing

is at last its true self

within the serene belonging

that dwells beside us

on the other side of what we see.
