AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN

CAPTAIN TOM MOORE

AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN

Your beauty walks before you
While courage holds your hand
Bravery makes you ten feet tall
A giant in the land

Your smile is cut glass diamonds
Flights of honour fill the sky
Ghostly troops march there in shadow
​​​​​Pride beaming in their eyes

Determination holds you up
Your mission set in stone 
Your soul a dazzling pure light
You walk accompanied, alone

You grace the air around you
As nations stir in awe
And wonder at this gentleman
Survivor of the war

99 years on this planet
An angel from above
I hope you feel our pride sir
I hope you feel our love ?

( 32 million pound raised for the NHS by a 99 year old gentleman and his zimmer frame...UK government?? ...couldn't even provide adequate PPE.)

My Dear Lady Marion,

A Man For All Seasons, was a movie venerating Sir Thomas More
Throughout the years of history, his accomplishments adored
Now comes an almost centaurian, who will go down in history
As another great saviour, of all humanity

All my love,
Larry xxx
