We Love the Nanny

Promise me. Not a word to anyone.
I think I'm in love with the nanny.
She's young and vibrant and dark.
I'm blooming in her midnight garden.
My wires spark. My heart's ignited.
Keep it secret. Not a word to anyone.

Birthday of Robin Williams

Our True, Real Self

Time changes and is in constant flight,
And of the fact, should never lose sight,
God is true and His huge help is here;
Always knew that He is close and near.

Many times God, myself, I so often will ask:
" Why am I wearing and behind a mental mask?"
Trying to hide true self and me

Premium MemberHidden Pain of Robin Williams

Robin made up stories to entertain himself, in an attic in Chicago.
We were soon the eager recipients of talents he had honed.
His heart was enormous; his generosity unfathomable.
Many probably do not realize how super talented he was.

When you are a comedian, people do not realize ….
How much pain you have been through.
What you have had

Premium MemberRobin Williams Please

Robin Williams would be my comedian of choice.
To live in the same building, to attend a picnic with,
To become lifelong friends.
I thought he was brilliant in most of his TV work
On Mork and Mindy; I believe most of the adlibs were left
In, because he was his own best writer.

He and I have similar personalities. I

 A national treasure
Lies here at rest.
Robin Williams
A comedic best!
So many characters
He brought to life
...
Mork, Mr Keating
Mrs Doubtfire,
A bright blue genie
Granting wishes when required
...
A true inspiration
A gentle soul
His gifts, his skills
Matched each role.
And this dear man,
Though sleeping here,
Is a talent that will live on
For many more years.

Robin Williams, Sad Comedian At Heart

Robin Williams,
one of Chicago’s native civilians. 
Became the best comedian in the late seventies,
poor man died from depression’s disease.

Known for his “hyper-comedy”,
Hook, Patch Adams and Jumanji-
though delirious, 
can be serious,
like Dead Poet’s Society.

Forever loved, a man nobody hated, 
a new world of comedy he created!
I bet he’s above full of love and laughter;
embracing an “Awakening”

Lacking Nothing

Perfect and lacking the words dance in my head.
Perfection is a belief that should stay dead, 

To lack information instead.
Learning that I can grow that must stay.

Perfection and lacking two unequal words,
Perfection is a lie, a victory never reached.

Lacking nothing is a belief that gives hope and sweet peace.
Perfection not needed here, simple trust without

A Tribute To Robin Williams the Funniest Man I Ever Knew

A special moment that moves the heart,
a special person a special part,
a special smile to make you laugh,
so many special voices, such a gas,

the deepest deepest sadness, the greatest loss,
a kindness, ancient peace,
a better place, a timeless place,
such great love remains,

and all the lives that touched,
like leaves in the rain,
tears of joy and love,
flowing together,

Tribute To Robin Williams

Give Them His Love

Wife was beautiful when she walked by
And she always, really caught my eye
Like someone I never saw before
Who I would want to see much more.

My husband always troubled had been
And my life, at times, he would not let in;
What happened to him I had supposed
Was in on him his world had closed.

Wherever

Premium MemberA Tribute To Robin Williams

A good man's gone, loved by us all
on the screen both big and small.

The fire is cold, the lights are out.
His soul's moved on, without a doubt.

The laughter's gone that masked the pain.
The house is still and peace does reign.

He fought his battles on life's wild ride,
but lost his war with the demons inside.

How can

Goodbye Robin Williams - Part Ii

People are still hurting because of the blow they've been dealt.
Sadly, you decided to end it all by hanging yourself with your belt.
You suffered from Bipolar Disorder and Depression, that wasn't a good combination.
People are very sorry that you died, your death has brought about devastation.
You starred in many movies, Popeye was your very first.
Your

For Robin Williams

You made hundreds of million people laughed
The world thought you're durable and tough
Your comedy was a source of joy and happiness
Yet no one bothered to cheer you up from loneliness

You were a brilliant star that shine so bright
The fuel you burned was your very own life
You tried to show us the funny side of the
