Rob’s Hope for Haiti

When you came onto the screen
Everything else faded to grey,
You’re the loveliest sight to be seen
On this woeful godforsaken day;
You are giving Hope to Haiti,
You are giving it to everybody!

Your warm and thougtful gesture
In being a part of this global venture,
So generously using your celebrity
To ameliorate this Haitian tragedy,
And do the Haitians know the heart
Or the soul of what drives your part?

I do not wish to be inappropriate
But i want to share what i do appreciate:

When i saw you in your fresh sprung youth
Speaking those old words of courageous truth,
(Not matter that they may not be your own)
Your tenderness and compassion have been shown;
And the light that illuminates your spirit within
Shone brightly under your human skin,
I have never seen you look more beatific
Than when you were doing this gig...

I did not think it at all possible
To experience this minor little miracle,
Of loving you so very much more
Than i thought i did before!
And the heart i thought overfull till then
Is now showing need to stretch and expand!

In all the universe and all the world,
You will not be loved more than by this girl!

For you not only brought hope for little Haiti,
You bring new life and zest and hope to me!
