This is a great poem, Debi, and a great tribute to Tom. Sorry I am just seeing this now, as I am a lot behind on here. I have been praying for you and hope that you are recovering well.

Oh thank you Anne. These are becoming my favorite poems to write as there is no greater feeling than speaking kind of others. And Tom did thank me for it too. And you my dear friend, have no idea how much I appreciate your prayers, I can feel them working as things are now turning around. Hopefully will be going home in a week or two for PT and HHC daily at home.
Thanks again my lovely friend!

You are welcome, Debi. So glad you are recovering, and will soon be home.
Comment from Janet Foor
Good you had some poems written ahead to help you stay connected while you heal in the hospital. Hope all is going well for you.
I enjoyed reading your fun poem about our "Tom" or maybe we will have to start calling him "Charlie". ð???
Blessings

Comment from Aussie
Debi, hope you are fully recovered now? Yes, Tom is a stalwart and I think he wears a crash helmet when we write. His poems have me diving for the dictionary! A very enlightened man - we are roughly the same age. He won't change his bio! Well done friend. K XX

Oh K, you are so much fun and seem to know more than anyone else here about Tom. How do I find his bio? I'm not even sure if he saw my poem.
But I thank you my lovely friend for all your kind and well wishes! I truly appreciate your gracious gift of six stars.. I still have a long road ahead, but so blessed to stay in touch with you and other dear friends while I'm forced to stay down before therapy starts! Thanks again!

Tom is 007 you will never find his bio.
Yes, we are a huge family. I have been here for 12 years!

Lol, now he's been referenced to Wizard of Oz,
Charlie's Angels and 007

It would be interesting to meet him. Your poem sparks me to wonder where he lives, does he have a family, is he a writer as well? Maybe someday the mystery will be revealed. :)

Hi Sharon, thank you so much for such a kind review and comments. I'm guessing that he's from NY or at least the east coast.Maybe after he reads this poem he will become more of a mystery. I'm just thankful that he has made such an enjoyable place for us to act as a family.

Debi,
How fun!!!
First of all, I certainly, certainly hope you are doing well since your surgery--and thank you for letting us know, too. My prayers will be joining those of all your other friends starting immediately.
A lot of what you are saying here is stuff we have all been thinking!!
You have expressed our feelings beautifully. Did you make sure to tell Tom to have a look?? Do for sure. He will love it!
Thank you!

Robyn I am so very thankful that I have had the honor to get to know you better lately. You are so sweet with such a loving spirit. I thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes. There were a few setbacks again, but nothing serious enough to put me back in icu. Hopeful to start therapy by the end of week. It will feel good to move again. However I am so thankful that I did have a few written too, as to stay connected w you and my other dear friends while having to stay down. Thank you for your kind comments and your big heart my dear friend.

Ummm? do you think i am weird to say I want to cut your comments out and keep them? Love it! I need more~wait. We all need more Debi in our lives!

I felt the same about yours.
They brought tears to my eyes! And as lonely as this place can be, those kind of tears , especially right before bedtime are so welcomed! Thank you❣️

I've asked a lot of questions on here too! Responses are always timely and specific. Your skillfully-written poem serves as a sincere tribute to Tom. There's an appealing dollop of humor present too.

Comment from SLMorrical
I loved reading this. I don't think I know who Tom is, but now I want to know who he is. Your poem peaked my interest of Tom. This is a great poem. I hope you feel better soon.

SL you are always so sweet. Tom is the guy who runs the show, but is only in touch when he is needed. Where it says 'contact us,' you normally will here back from Tom, if you use it. He is the boss of the place, but none of us really know too much more except that FS is run pretty smooth and thats thanks to him. Like I said, Charlie, from Charlie's Angels type. Thank you my dear friend for such a kind review and comments, and for your gracious gift of six stars. You are so gracious and you are so appreciated!
Comment from Ulla
This is a wonderful poem, Debi. You are right, Tom always seems to be omnipresent. I'm so sorry you're in hospital. I didn't know that. Get well soon. Ulla:)))

Thank you so very much Ulla! You are always so sweet. It seems most here are like you and me, who know nothing about Tom that he sure knows how to run FS smoothly for us. Thanks for your well widhes and for the kind comments my dear friend!
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Good poem about the enigmatic Tom. With $99 per year membership from thousands of members, maybe he needs to buy the beer. If you Google FanStory you will find articles from former members, reviews ...etc
However, it is nice you wanted to honor him.
I hope you are recovering well from your surgery. it for sure has not slowed your writing hands down. Wishing you the best with your recovery.

Thanks Sandra. I wrote about six poems ahead of time, cause I love my interaction with you guys. I am thinking about finding a 5/7/5 type contest and trying it as it's been a while since I've entered any. It really helps the boredom until I can get up and start therapy. I thank you so very much my friend for your kind comments as well as your well wishes.

You Mrs. Debi is something else! Continue to make good progress. You are most welcome.

This is a good tribute to Tom, Debi and I chuckled at the title you gave him and I'm sure he would too. I hope you are progressing well in your recovery Debi. Thinking of you, ð?¤? cheers
