My brother wrote this before he died 25 years ago.
My brother wrote this several months before he died. It is copied as he wrote it. It made me realize it wasn't necessarily the epilepsy aging his body that took him. God decided he didn't need to be that lonely anymore. I had to stop typing in the middle of it and go sob in my Daddy's arms before I could finish.

Yesterday
finished 6:10AM 6:17:81

Yesterday, Yesterday-when I was young-yesterday;
when people were still willing to say:" I love you!"
Yesterday; whatever happened to yesterday!
when people used to say: "I love you To!"
Yesterday; has yesterday really gone that far away?
when people "wanted" to others say: "I Love You."
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday: "Whatever happened to yesterday."
when it was normal to say: "I love you to; Friend"
To the end:,
Do you hear that any more?
or when they hear you say it "Do they slam the door?
Yesterday, yesterday; whatever happened to the real yesterday?
Where did it go-how did it turn to today?

Today, Today, are people willing to say-today "I Love You!"
And "I love you to."
Do people still say-today-like they did yesterday"I love you?
And I love you to Friend-To the end!"
Do they mean what they say-today;
Like they did yesterday? Yesterday,Yesterday
What is yesterday like now-today?
Today-yesterday-is now today.
