To Robin

Knew a man so full of pain To him, life was such a stain This sadness he so bravely fought Form him lessons could be taught The laughter he brought Instead of the pain he did feel With the laughter he helped others to heal He showed the world the funny side But his pain he tried to hide Others laughter helped the lonely tide So funny that no one heard your cry I still wonder why You hid it so well Others couldn't tell Lost amongst the laughter The tears we failed to see The pain that in which you truly be We failed you I know this to be true What would of helped I wish I knew A life spent making others smile Drowning in your own pain all the while Robin you was one of a kind Brought us peace of mind If only for awhile You made each of us smile Thank you For all you did do
