Seventy-five years, a milestone grand, In a world tended by Tom's gentle hand. With love from Carol and feline grace, Charlotte the cat, his warm embrace. To the hardest worker we've ever known, Whose heart in house and home has grown. Squirrels, deer, bear, and birds all share, In gratitude for his loving care. His hermitage, a peaceful retreat, Where earth and sky in harmony meet. The forest whispers, the wildflowers sway, Hailing Tom on this splendid day. In the quiet woods, life softly unfurls, A cherished kingdom, a realm of squirrels. Happy Birthday, dear Tom, wise and free, In your cherished world of serenity.
