Tribute to Marvin

Tribute to Marvin

He sat in the same place

Every time I saw  Marvin

Listening to the Blues with a state of grace

Like he was in church listening to a hymn

One  could see the joy on his face

Even though the lights were dim

Tapping his feet and snapping his fingers

To the rhythm of the drum and bass

His cup of happiness filled to the brim

Marvin has now gone to his greater reward

Called to Heaven and his Lord

Marvin in this life walked the walk

Paid his dues

And I am sure

Marvin is in Heaven still listening to the Blues
