The Time is Near

It is the third month

The days are creeping up

Closer the calendar moves

I remember like it was yesterday

Your smile, your tears, your silence.

Brother dear, I know you left me a penny

I found it on the floor

You probably see that I am wearing your IU jacket too

It is one way I can feel close to you.

I miss you baby brother

There will never be another

With big blue eyes

The color of skies

A grin so wide

No where to hide

I saw the questions you had

When you felt so bad

I couldn’t keep it away

MSA took you that day

March 24, 2014

It was a disease so mean

No matter what I try

I still cry

I miss you brother

There will be no other.

 

Written by your sister for you my dear brother,

Terry Sheperd

In memory of a warrior of Multiple System Atrophy
