Ode To Robin

A tale I have made; a short story true

Please rest for a while as I relate it to you

Of Robin its told of a life loud and bold

Of laughs and gags for the young and the old

Now Robin I met watching Mork and Mindy

One night when cold wet and windy

It seems that he's really larger than life

With years of depression, trouble and strife

His career and prowess it's been written in books

What a great combination; That and good looks

When not entertaining he gave to Comic Relief

The loss of this man now fills all with grief

A message from us as we honour Robin today

With family and friends in heaven we pray

Our love and our care for you we all have a share

As you watch over us from heaven up there

We honour and remember you this sad day

For ever to come each in their own way

R.I.P. Robin Williams

21 July 1951 - 11 August 2014
