Dreams
Joseph’s dreams sheaves of grain
They all strain down, but cannot see
Moons and stars circle round
Fall before him at the ground
A well of sorrow, a pit of disdain
Lost to Egypt, his death they proclaim
Servanthood, sufferings is this a dream. Will I wake from what I have seen.
Is my name not Joseph, son of Israel. Loved child, Bore of Rachel.
Robe ripped, artwork unweaved
It seems so hard to believe
Yet dreams from God, For God
Bind themselves, kneed, plod
Time patience, seasons pass
Forward looking, raised mast
Loving Fathers do not forget
Theirs sons, daughters, the yet
Stories turn true, a family reglued
An artists insight, a Fathers delight
Nations restored, promises up-kept
Joy proclaimed from those who wept
