Abo Juan
September 25, 2012
Fifty-seven years ago he came
Wanting the best for his children.
Ninety miles he flew
He flew for a better life
And he ever complained.
He ate dinner every day at 8,
Never before,
He drank whiskey at 5,
Never before,
He died when he was ready,
Never before.
Abo Juan.

This is so simple, yet so perfect. I love the repitition with the "Never before" parts especially.
