Met you once, but I can’t remember,
Though your legacy lives on,
Switching tickets that would have taken us to Australia,
Leaving the war to visit your family,
Lying about your age to get a job,
I often think of you when I’m scared,
If they don’t like you, they can “pee up a rope”, you would say,
Sometimes to hell with the rules, you need to create your own path
I love the specificity here. The way you convey so much through a single sentence.
