Of six kids in his family, he was the only son
Played many sports in college, most are thankful to play one
And when he joined the service, he’d salute with Navy gun
He says sometimes his foot’s in mouth, but always done in fun
He fell in love completely, when stood in for her prom date
And though she's ten years younger, he knew it was always fate
Where they’d adopt two baby girls, North Carolina state
Now forty five years later, Myra’s still Tom’s loving mate
He has a charming, quirky sense of humor ‘bout him, yet
A little bit unorthodox, that some don't always get
He prays for me when needed and I never will forget
He's been a friend to me and many, and so glad we met
He's proud of his accomplishments and all that he achieves
He tears up for our flag, wears his emotions on his sleeves
His faith so strong in God, and proud to tell how he believes
And thankful for his blessings and for all that he receives
He thinks a day without humor is good for just a frown
So his Party requires laughter; no one can be down
.
And all will be invited from our fun filled writing town
A Happy Birthday with love, Tom, our friend, FanStory Clown
