The Perfect Father
Hans
Caring, scared and troubled
who loves Himmel Street
Who feels anxious about the future
Who needs to comfort his family
Who shares his musical talent
Who fears for his life
Who'd like to see the world end
Who dreams of Maxs' safety
Who ends up deceased and missed
Red
Jesse Owens is black,
Yellow is the German sun;
Red is the color
spattered on a Nazi who's won
stars above Himmel Street are white
Green is the book from Grande Strasse
Red is the puddles
mixed with broken glass
Brown are Liesels' eyes,
gray is Rosa's hair;
Red represents
many lives that aren't fair
