Robert
You bugger. You cheeky spirit Your quip, your lip Drips like honey And leaves its trail A thick blanket of goo Covering your thorns Protecting your impact. You bugger. Robert You king. You stubborn lion You rock of Gibraltar There. Definite. Big. Grand. Leaving your trail As you swish your four-wheeled tail In your various chariots Through the land. You king. Robert You lover. Of life, of love, of heart, of song Of Janey. Such deep love. For your darling, your torch. You’ve left your trail. In your friends’ hearts With deep grooves Full of you, for ever. You lover. Robert You gentle spirit You breeze, you cloud Floating through life Touching gently down Sugar dusting your trail As you reinvent And start again A child in a toyshop. You gentle spirit. Robert You bumble bee of life For today, not tomorrow Humming along, happy as can be Picking up new pollens to try Not aware of your trail Such energy, directed forward Never back Singing your own song You bumble bee of life. Robert You friend of such heart Your truth shone through Safe. Real. An open ear, a watchful eye. Your gentle presence Your trail of smiles Your wine in hand Your laugh singing out You friend of such heart. Robert You rest, in peace No more pain to fight No more fear and regret to face No more sadness at leaving You’ve left your trail. With us. You were alive, so alive In every way, in every day You always will be, in OUR lives You rest. In peace. Robert. Thank you Robert. For your life. Your cheek. Your love. Your heart. Your vibrance. Your courage. Your fight. Your depth. Your laugh. Your fun. Your welcoming. Your strength. Your truth. Thank you for sharing you and making such an impact. In your life.
