her daughter says
her mind is gone
she can't remember her life
she can't remember
how to feed herself
or use the bathroom
she can't remember
if she has any children
or if her husband is dead
but if you say, "Our Father..."
she will finish the prayer
word for word
she remembers
that God is in heaven
and that God's kingdom is coming
she remembers
that God prepares a table
for her
and she isn't afraid
to walk through the valley
of the shadows
she doesn't fear evil
for her cup runneth over
with assurance
she doesn't remember
who she is
but she remembers
she is not alone.
