Submitted to Contest #60

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Virgil sang the song tunelessly as he watched over the sheep.  His mother, a shepherd before him, taught him the song in his youth as a reminder of his mission.  She told him- "Never forget Virgil- never forget the 23rd Song.  When it is bleakest, when all hope seems lost- sing this song."  His mother- nor Virgil for that matter- had no idea it was act...
