A man we all know - Captain Tom Moore, 
A veteran from the second world war, 
He has just reached one hundred years, 
And whose recent feat roused many cheers.

A hundred times he paced his grounds, 
Which quickly raised millions of pounds. 
To the NHS will go that money, 
From a challenge that at first seemed funny.

He showed that age is just a number, 
Which should be nothing to encumber. 
With an iron will and determination, 
He must be seen by all as an inspiration.

Like Captain Tom, know it is not too late 
For you to achieve something great. 
So keep hope and discount sorrow, 
And then we'll look towards tomorrow.
