Father Tom

Thomas Flandro, a man of great art. 

A Father and Friend, with a great heart. 

A dentist of champions, with a firm part. 

He is my hero, and example for life. 

Along with Jayne, his beautiful wife. 

He leads our team, as Father of six. 

But really, looked up to by millions in mix. 

So jealousy makes you wish to be heir? 

But as his son I'll always be there. 

Through hunting and fishing and rafts in the wild. 

Chuck Norris jokes, that make Tommy smile. 

That four-wheeling accident that made you sick. 

Through wars and comedies, even Gandhi flicks. 

Sausages, pizza, bear hunting trips. 

Rafting the middle, in a boat that did flip! 

Father, my Daddy, thanks for it all. 

Without you, I wouldn't stand as tall. 

I love you, I love you Father of mine. 

I'll see you, I'll see you in a short time.
