Another Prayer
My mother telephoned me this afternoon, saying, "You've got to hear this, Mary!" She turned on the speaker phone and placed it near my dad. I heard a strong, low baritone voice. My father has always sung with the congregation in church and for birthdays, etc. at home, even though singing is not one of his best gifts. The voice I heard today was stronger and more melodious than I've ever heard from him before. Perhaps dementia releases his inhibitions and he could sing out: "Kumbaya, my Lord! Kumbaya! . . ." What a joy to hear this prayer, for the Lord to "Come by here!"
