Upon The Passing Of The Senor Jose Salazar

That's all he did

Just work and support

His wife and children

And enjoy life.

The Senor kept

His pleasures simple.

The man didn't have much,

Didn't ask for much.

But was far wealthier

And richer than many

Other men I may know.

He and his family took us

In as their own.

We grew up together,

Laughed together, cried together.

Watched our own children

Born and grow.

We ate at his table, shared

His food, and sheltered

In his house full of love.

He reared and taught us all

The best way he knew how.

The Senor Salazar has passed

On but not his passion and love.
