Forget me not, dear father,
For you have bestowed demons
On a child of innocence
Who has let them loose
Into her mind
In bedding them deeply there

Forget me not, Dear Father
For the sins of omission
Have overtaken me
And the battle rages on
I need your strength
And for my need to be free

Forget them not, dear Father
When they come to you in fear
Forgive them with compassion
Bring the child before them
Let them weep at her feet
So she may forgive them too.
