Tom Larrow's Blog
 I'm just an average 60+ year old American, raised on a farm in Connecticut. Through the years as a student, U.S. Marine, husband, father and Grampa, I have learned many things in life, the value of freedom, faith, family and to respect all people. These constant truths have guided me in life and made me the man I am today. In today's world to many people have forgotten this, instead they seek the biggest bank account, best home and the newest things or they expect life to be easy and all their needs should be given to them.
My poems are meant to get people thinking and having the conversations, which I believe are necessary to improve the future of our children.
A Tear is a drop of the pain we hold inside. Spring flowers that open to greet the sun Smell the fragrance of earth's impending rebirth All life feels the sun and begins to feed, children play in leaves as tree's shed them to renew If love, hope, joy, children can survive. so can I Spring is our time to set all things straight Teach the joy in life to family shedding tears It's why I put words together telling stories of life, faith and inspiration

Why do life's Angels, in the light of day
Shed their earthly robes, and walk away
Is it, man's forgotten, how we should treat a friend
In my life's journey we had truths, you could depend
Now these truths seem blurred, all for what end
has our greed and arrogance, dictated this trend
As some seek only wealth while forsaking friends
Is this now our destiny, or can man transcend
Can man redeem the grace, we had when young
While many men hear only the devil's tongue
When the morning sunlight greets the earth
hear your prayers, what is an Angel worth?
