Captain Tom We Are Not Worthy Sir

If all in life, Is what is meant By how one's leaves one's mark upon it Then Captain Tom Said 100 year old shrinking violet I fear you are my Dear Kind Sir, The sum of all our missing parts Lest we never forget

Indeed he is Christopher, what an amazing man, a bright shininglight in these gloomy days. Tom

Agreed no question. Respect honour and a different set of values that have obviously carried through. Cheers Tom

he is inspirational a beacon of hope during such dark times. I was disgusted to see a fellow poet write a slam against people fund raising for the health service - I bet they don't get off their backside to do something like Captain Tom and our own manx version Bob Corkish who has raised over £20,000 walking just like Tom Moore has ! Write on Christopher!:-) hugs Jan xx
