“And Joseph said unto them [his brothers], ‘Do not fear; am I in place of God? You thought to do me harm, but God intended it for good, to bring it to pass, as it is this day, that many people may be given life.” (Genesis 50:19-20)<\/p>\n

Teach me, Joseph, the language of belief
\nYou taught your brothers’ children week by week,
\nDespite the pit; you showed them how to speak
\nWord by word, dream by dream, star by star, sheaf
\nBy sheaf, sunset by moonrise, joy by grief.
\nTeach me to fly to summits of faith, peak
\nBy peak, eagle by falcon, wing by beak,
\nAnd build a nest, leaf by twig, twig by leaf.<\/p>\n

Teach me, Joseph, how to pardon brothers,
\nCurse by curse, spit by spit; how to forgive
\nA torn coat, a haughty sneer, an angry scream.
\nTeach me to love \u2014 to love the way mothers
\nLove a new born child; teach me how to live
\nCompassion. Teach me, Joseph, how to dream.<\/p>\n
