Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

Oh Captain, My Captain

"Oh Captain, my Captain."
As memories rush in.
We'd laugh, we'd cry.
We'd ponder and grin.

You touched us , you moved us.
You were like family.
"Oh Captain, my Captain"
What didn't we see?

The world now mourns,
 the world now cries.
"Oh Captain, my Captain"
there's tears in our eyes.

"Oh Captain, my Captain"
you were one of a kind.
We'll remember you with love
and may peace your soul find.



R.I.P. Robin Williams
