My brother Stephen was born on the 29th of August 1954

He died on the 17th of September 1973

Our father was born of the 30th of June 1926

He died on the 9th of June 1996

Twenty-one days short of his 70th birthday

If Stephen had not been killed on that cool September evening

He would have outlived his fathers span

On the 8th of August 2024

I am dancing to the music of time
