Ode to Smokey Robinson

And here's to you Mister Robinson
You're now at Heaven's Gate
Come join us for a drink my friend
As we anxiously await
The arrival of a man
Who's dressed as Santa Claus
Bearing all the many gifts
That sparkle like the stars
Remembering your golden smile
As bright as midnight sun
Your charm and easy manner
That softly beats your drum
We'll tip a toast to you, the man
Who gives us hope and pause
Cause yes my sweet Virginia
There is a Santa Claus
His name is Smokey Robinson
A friend to all indeed
A husband and a father
A man of words and deeds
Your presence is a blessing
Your Spirit never gone
It's shining with the brightest star
That's in the Great Beyond
Christopher P. Robinson
