Captain Sir Tom Moore,
A hundred years was never enough,
Inspiration of a nation
Till Covid cruelly took you with its wrath,
Although none of us will last forever
It only needs a selfless few,
To set an example and lift our spirits
Show us what we ought to do,
Captain Sir Tom Moore,
Achieved so much in his 100th year,
Set the bar of hope high for others
So they’d meet life challenges without fear,
National hero, national treasure,
Accolades well deserved and won,
Your influence transcended generations
Sir Tom, your legacy will carry on.
