Our Wishes for Tom

Been married to his lovely wife, Jan, for 52 years

The moves alone that they have made took blood, and sweat and tears

From Ohio, they were married,  after Navy boot camp

They'd end up in Alaska with religious group revamp



There was no entertainment, TV, movies with popcorn 

So one by one, each of their lovely five daughters were born

And then their twin boys would come next; each different birthdays

A fact, these twins born diff’rent months, now doesn't that amaze



In 2020, moved again, he'd need some warmer coats

He loves fishing the big salmon in commercialized boats

He did have other jobs, but Tom knew fishing was the best

Beside's with his dear family, another place he's blessed



Now in Northern Alaska, where he really hates the cold

But living close to family, will never become old

So now that Tom is retired, he will sit under his lamps

As he enjoys his hobby while he's collecting his stamps



Today is TB Bott's Birthday; fam'ly reunion too

Up there in North Alaska, may your party skies be blue

So Tom can wish upon a northern star for one that's due

The biggest salmon catch; may all  your fish wishes come true



And one more day to gather wishes at your bar-be-que

We wish a Happy Birthday Tom, that's our Big Wish for You!
