Been married to his lovely wife, Jan, for 52 years
The moves alone that they have made took blood, and sweat and tears
From Ohio, they were married, after Navy boot camp
They'd end up in Alaska with religious group revamp
There was no entertainment, TV, movies with popcorn
So one by one, each of their lovely five daughters were born
And then their twin boys would come next; each different birthdays
A fact, these twins born diff’rent months, now doesn't that amaze
In 2020, moved again, he'd need some warmer coats
He loves fishing the big salmon in commercialized boats
He did have other jobs, but Tom knew fishing was the best
Beside's with his dear family, another place he's blessed
Now in Northern Alaska, where he really hates the cold
But living close to family, will never become old
So now that Tom is retired, he will sit under his lamps
As he enjoys his hobby while he's collecting his stamps
Today is TB Bott's Birthday; fam'ly reunion too
Up there in North Alaska, may your party skies be blue
So Tom can wish upon a northern star for one that's due
The biggest salmon catch; may all your fish wishes come true
And one more day to gather wishes at your bar-be-que
We wish a Happy Birthday Tom, that's our Big Wish for You!
