Yesterday

Yesterday he was so peaceful,
Breathing was hard but manageable.
Yesterday he seemed so far away,
Yet on the bed we could see he was there.
Yesterday he shivered and shook,
But we could feel he was warm.
Yesterday he heard us talk,
Even though his eyes were shut.
Yesterday he felt us near him.
Although he was fast into his sleep.
Yesterday he moaned and groaned,
Trying our best to answer.
Yesterday he felt our love.
Yet today he died.
