Help me to remember the ‘you’ that you were.

To enjoy memories that may still trigger your own fleeting recognition.

Help me to cherish the ‘you’ that is now,

still special to me even when you have forgotten why.

Help me to envision the ‘you’ that will one day be,

restored in the enfolding love of God,

in whom past, present and future are one,

and in whom we shall then be complete.

Lord, keep me in hope and give me strength until that day.

Amen
