Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Adam asked
About Dad and what he did
Saturday night.
An interest
In his family
In a grandfather
Gone since he
Was five year old
Someone he never knew.

How do you describe
Who someone was
Or what they did
Or what made them tick?

The oldest grandchild
Just before sixteen
He didn’t know about
My father, his grandfather
A computer wiz, a workaholic
A solitary man who
Was apart from
Us but
Who I was happy
To describe
For him.

A man who made computers
Design and manufacture
Who could see geometry
And knew the code
To make it real
Who traveled around the world
For his work
Who could lose
Himself in the commands
For hours before the screen
And keyboards.
