In a quiet Newfoundland village, where the Atlantic breezes blow,
Lived a boy named Thomas Ricketts, with a heart as pure as snow.
When the world was torn by war, and the call to arms rang clear,
Thomas joined the battle, though just a boy of seventeen years.
Tommy Ricketts, brave and true,
With courage in his heart, he knew what he must do.
From the fields of Newfoundland to the battlefields afar,
He rose a shining hero, a young and steadfast star.
In the trenches of Flanders, where the bullets filled the air,
Thomas faced the fire, with a soldier's solemn prayer.
In Belgium he stood tall, against the German might,
With a fearless heart he charged, into the deadly fight.
Tommy Ricketts, brave and true,
With courage in his heart, he knew what he must do.
From the fields of Newfoundland to the battlefields afar,
He rose a shining hero, a young and steadfast star.
With his rifle and his spirit, he turned the battle's tide,
For his comrades and his homeland, he fought with honor and pride.
The Victoria Cross he earned, for valor in the fray,
A beacon of young bravery, that shines until this day.
When the war was finally over, and the guns were laid to rest,
Thomas returned to Newfoundland, a hero truly blessed.
But in his quiet moments, he remembered those who fell,
The friends and foes together, in the stories he would tell.
Oh, Tommy Ricketts, brave and true,
With courage in his heart, he knew what he must do.
From the fields of Newfoundland to the battlefields afar,
He rose a shining hero, a young and steadfast star.
In the hearts of Newfoundlanders, his legacy remains,
A testament to bravery, through the joys and through the pains.
For Thomas Ricketts showed us, what a single soul can do,
When driven by the love of home, and the call of duty too.
