The Collinsville Kid
Others dressed in Bows and Bells and hair tied in a ringlet
But Norma entered Robert Ham in Nappies and a Singlet
The annual Collinsville baby show, a chance to win a quid
Who’d of thought that Robert would become the Collinsville Kid.
Two sisters and three brothers
and we all have our perspective
The different thoughts we have
of Rob when we become reflective.
We will all try to copy him,
to do the things he did
But none of us will ever match our beloved Collinsville Kid.
Kenny will reflect on how Rob
preached the Gospel story
Convicted those who sat in pews
to focus on God’s glory.
Whenever Ken was in Rob’s church
he’d be asked to stand amid,
To preach the creator’s message
for his mate, the Collinsville Kid.
Rosemary will reflect on Robert’s
happy smiling face.
He had that knack to make you
laugh and give a warm embrace.
And if She needed picking up, forget 'The Wizard of Id'.
She’d grab the phone and dial
to reach her funny Collinsville Kid.
Beverley will reflect on her
Big Brother and her Friend.
A jovial boy who never fought
or set out to offend.
And unlike us, a placid boy.
He’d never flip his lid.
You couldn’t help but totally
love our friendly Collinsville Kid.
David will reflect on times Rob’s
sickness brought them close.
Tricks to get Rob out of shops
or give a medicine dose.
And Robert never embarrassed
Dave and David never hid.
There was not enough that he
could do for our sickly Collinsville Kid.
Stephen will reflect on Rob’s
advice and Book Reviews.
How Spurgeon and Lloyd-Jones
would help Steve form doctrinal views.
But most of all taught Steve
to Preach and Preach the word he did.
And in this way Rob’s voice lives
on so thankyou Collinsville Kid.
