July 20th

Out of the flat and back into town
Turning left instead of the right way round
To grab a coffee in someplace new
All the time thinking, it’s what Tom would do
If you don’t know Tom, here’s what you’re missing
Tom spends his life in the genius position
Tom is light and a focused chance taker
Cooler than cool, no greater ice breaker
Tom is a super human, of an organic species
He works hard at making it look easy
Tom is a strong confident life go getter
When you’re with Tom you want to do better
Tom isn’t just about the bouncy side
He is deeper and sweeter and can fully confide
Empathy and understanding and a little show
Where ever you are there’s someone he knows
When you’re friends with someone for fifteen years
And you think of all the tea, coffee and beers
You realise that you are the lucky one
No greater great or funner fun
He’ll have something positive and everyday impress
He encourages me more and inspires no less
There is no pretence about what he is
Which wasn’t always popular when we were kids
Its all taken in his stride, he’s always able to relate
Tom is just Tom, and I miss you daily mate
