I wrote this poem as a tribute to my grandpa. I think I mostly wrote it for my mom and my uncle Howard, the latter of whom I dedicated it to. It’s not my usual style, but I think it does capture a bit of the essence of this late, great old man. It was a joy to be around him later in his life, to see his eyes light up as he told his stories. He was a an amazing man, with a greatness I certainly will never live up to.
