Winner "Catie Lindsey" for Ekphrasis for Tom's fictional image - Sandra Hudson's Blog

He balances the weight of a lifetime upon his shoulders
Giving reflections of glory days, those he has loved along the way,
With always a kind word and an uplifting Spirit
he gives so much more to the world than he has gotten out of it.
But ne're to complain, this man full of humor
A wonderful man, and a really good friend
the kind that stays until the end.
He entertains midgets all through the night
with a Hammond on his left, and Rosie on his right.
We wish for him all the happiness he can find
because he brings us so much joy through his challenging rhymes.
He cooks up a pot of Soup which is just to die for
his secret ingredients always has everyone asking for more.
We love you Tom, and miss you when you are gone.
Dont stay gone too long, there is something we need to hear
wrapped up in your song. Let the music play!
