Farewell Robin, complex, gentle soul, no stranger
to depression.
Lonely childhood,
giving voices
to toy soldiers, overcoming shyness to pull
belly-shaking
laughter, tear-streaming
mirth from us all.
What could we have done to pull you through your sadness,
to heal your wounds,
to enclose you in
a circle of love?
