Captain Sir
 Thomas Moore

    30th April 1920 – 2nd February 2021

A collection of poems in his
memory from 7A1 and 7B2

Captain Tom Moore,
He was braver than a Gryffindor,
He raised money for the COVID fight,
To give everyone the right,
To have a mask free life,
Although in the end,
It was COVID who decided to send,
This hero to his end.

Captain Tom who served
In the Second World War
As a British Army Officer
Who fought in India.

Captain Tom who was
Resilient to fight for the
UK in WW2
He helped out country to win.

Years past by
And Covid-19 came.

Captain Tom on April 16th 2020
At the age of 99,
Walked lengths of his garden to raise
Money for the NHS.

£30 million was raised for the NHS
He then sung, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”
With more proceeds going to charity.

Nearly a year passed by
And on 2nd February 2021
Captain Tom passed away,
Due to Covid-19 and pneumonia.

We will never forget Captain Thomas Moore.
1920-1921 – 100 years old.

Ellise Reidy (7A1)

How resilient he was,
How in awe we are,
For your selfless endeavour,

Step by step he led the way,
A good example, never led a stray,
Others followed in your path,
To raise more money an altruistic task,

100 years WOW! What a journey,
NHS grateful for there earnings,
100 years WOW! What a journey,
Remembered as Captain Tom for all Eternity,

Helping fight for our Nation,
To being a massive inspiration.
Raising money for our National Health Service,
Giving up to him was uncertain.

From constantly being shot at,
To being on the news having a friendly chat.
Getting a number one single in the music charts,
He stole a place in our hearts.

2020 was all a blur,
Until Captain Tom became Sir.
You made us all believe,
So we say thank you for all you have achieved.

Freya Wilde (7A1)

Captain Tom, Captain Tom
Brave and courageous in all ways
100 laps around his garden
33 million straight to the NHS.

Captain Tom, Captain Tom
Saviour of Hundreds
Inspired thousands
Truly the kindest of hearts

Captain Tom, Captain Tom
More of him and the earth would be better
Strength and determination he spreads
The heart of the UK

Captain Tom, Captain Tom.

Izabel Laughton (7A1)

Captain Sir Tom Moore was a British Army Officer
He fought in the war and battled with pneumonia
On April the 6th he walked around his garden
And in total he raised over £30 million

The BBC recognised him and gave him an award
Of becoming the personality of the year for sport
He got this because of his courage and bravery
He got this because he was just so amazing

He even sang a song with Michael Ball
His Perseverance was the greatest of all
When he reached 100 he was knighted by the Queen
He was the greatest inspiration the world had ever seen

Even America were inspired by what he had done
In all those years of his life he sure had fun
The whole country clapped for him and honoured him because
He was the greatest hero that there ever was

Near the end of his life he travelled to Barbados
Where he spent his last weeks with his family and friends
Captain Sir Tom Moore sure had fun
But sadly in the end covid-19 won

When he travelled back to Britain he said to the nation
“Tomorrow will be a good day”
But then a few weeks later on the 2nd of February
He sadly passed away

Ellivia Hague (7B2)

Captain Tom Moore
You fought in the war
Brining joy to others
Many times before.

Awards were given
Songs were sung
Money was raised
Everything going strong

Everyone is thankful
NHS are grateful
Coronavirus is not away
But tomorrow will be a good day.

Skye Kehoe-Wardle (7B2)

In the mist of our pandemic world, a beacon of hope, Captain Tom Moore
His efforts will not be missed, as many others looked up to him as our world
saw,
His fundraising made a magnificent start to the parting
Of the clouds that we call ‘Covid’
His efforts will not be in vain.

Many watched as he stepped up to the queen,
his knighting ceremony was all that was seen
The televisions bombarded with requests to watch the same show,
now that is all that we know
Respected by everyone, he was the only one
His efforts will not be in vain.

As the year grew to an end, and 2021 began,
Tom Moore tried harder and harder to raise as much money he can
However, all we can do is sit and stand
As the days grew longer,
everyone’s dreams grew stronger,
thanks to Captain Tom
His efforts will not be in vain.

As February began however, people saw what they were all dreading
The news was all on every heading.
Newspapers, shows, everyone knew what happened to Captain Tom, his time was
due
COVID-19 and pneumonia, together like buddies,
finished off the man we call Captain Tom Moore
His efforts will not be in vain.

Evie Morris (7B2)

As the golden coin goes down,
A new generation starts.
The sunshine is bright and the stars shine,
Ambition grows in the community combined.

100 laps, here we go!
Until the last breath, here we go.
Never surrendered & never gave up,
The goal is finally in my hands.

A goal that turned into a reality,
A goal with indulgence.
A £30 million pounds raised in the sky.
A hero we admire.

He was the captain from our ship,
And the path to our future.
We are in this together.
And long life our legend

“Tomorrow will be a good day.”

Gabriella Puccinelli-Rosas (7B2)

Captain Sir Tom Moore
Really was the greatest,
He went on a walk round his garden
And really put himself to the test.

He went the extra mile
To raise money for charity,
He surpassed £30 million pounds
With donations to help everybody.

He was a true war hero
Head and shoulders above the rest,
A truly inspirational man
He really was one of the best.

He sang a chart-topping song
With opera singer Michael Ball,
When he was knighted by the Queen
He stood proud and tall.

He was a bright shining beacon
For all of us to see,
He gave us someone to admire
Hope, for you and me.

He was a true inspirational hero
The best we saw by far,
We will never, ever forget him
He’ll always be close to our hearts.

Poppy Stevenson (7B2)

Thank you for your service
Thank you for your time
Thank you for your kind-heart
The loyalty and peace
You gave to our nation.

Sorry for your loss,
As you watch your friend’s life end.
But thank you for the commitment to making the world
A better place.

You’re an idol to each
And everyone of us.
You’ll always be in our hearts
For now and ever more.

So thank you for the resilience
And generosity you gave.
You truly are a Captain
And a Captain you’ll always be
To everyone a Captain and a friend.

Emily Swift (7B2)

Captain Tom,   how great you are,
Captain Tom,   we’re feeling such grief,
Captain Tom,   we wish upon a star,
Captain Tom,   come back with relief.

Captain Tom,   you didn’t deserve death,
Captain Tom,   you were a hero to most,
Captain Tom,   take one more breath,
Captain Tom,   we wish you weren’t diagnosed.

Captain Tom,   we appreciate your deeds,
Captain Tom,   your amazing accomplishment,
Captain Tom,   when the NHS needs,
Captain Tom,   around your garden you went.

Kiya Wilkinson (7B2)

Captain Tom Moore, oh how we adore,
You set a task of walking 2.5k
To raise £1,000 for the NHS,
Was his only plan.

Considered by many a veteran of war
Captain Tom Moore, oh how we adore.
You fought hard and long,
You were inspiration, true right to the core.

And despite your age, you were amongst the strong
Captain Tom Moore, oh how we adore.
Though Covid and pneumonia was too much for you,
You were loved by your family and your friends.

Kye Collins (7B2)

Your military prowess has now vanished in a swat,
After the troubles you worked as hard as a sales man,
For the roof panelling.
As you were the best man there without any challenging.

It was soon that you met your lovely wife,
Pamela was her name, the love of your life.
You became married to her after the horrible times,
But you should make new memories now as the church bells chime.

You visited her every day for five years.
As she fell ill you cried solemn tears.
You children Hannah and Lucy now had no mother to call theirs.
You raise their heads as you were a positive extraordinaire.

You looked to the future ahead and soon you were classed as a hero,
Always number one, never a zero.

Once a boy from Keighly Yorkshire, now you’re everywhere.
A dog called Billy and Uncle Williams your friend.
Thomas you were always active and always out of bed.
Once you fell over on a train line
But got back up for the 4 mile bike ride ahead.

Riding your motorbike through broken trees in the jungle.
Biking to send messages to the government without a fumble.
World War 2 seized you in India.
You walked through the barren area like an unseen ninja.

As your friends and enemies fell down.
You checked some of the positive side without a frown.
You came back with a shocked face.
What you had seen couldn’t be translated by trace.

You raised £30 million for charity,
With the nation on your back whom you single-handedly carried,
A walking frame and a new hip too.
You walked 100 laps through and through,

“Tomorrow will be a good day” that’s what you said.
When you came into our lives we raised our worried heads.

Through the Covid-19 pandemic and “through the storm”,
We now found a new bright lamp from our once depressed form.

Tom sang a song from Gerry Marsden.
You sang it peacefully without any fathom.
You are now called the nation’s own.
So Remember Tom, “You’ll never walk alone.”
