Joseph

Joseph, you never grew old.
You passed from this life in your glorious prime
a martyr to the work of your life,
a landmark in the wilderness of time...

Your life's work the reason
for your existence
and still your enemies
renew their resistance...

But with God's love the treasure to win,
His world, His way, will be the best end
and your efforts were not in vain.
And Joseph, you'll live again.
