For Joseph Poem by Mary Mc Creath

Go gently into that bright light
Dear brother.
Embrace it with your
Closing eyes.

You'll open them to see
Someone is waiting.
To take your hand
To show you a surprise

Your ancestor have been
There waiting.
So long for you with smiles
And open arms.

To greet you with a song
And hug you dearly.
To welcome you
Among their millions strong.

A thousand thousand wait to
Meet their Joseph.
A thousand thousand sing
To you their song.

Of all they gave to you from
Their own stories.
Now! Add your story
To that endless throng.

A story of your life and every venture.
A story of your pleasures and your pain.
A story of your failures and successes.
A story of your losses and your gain.

Then add your light to theirs
And see the glory.
Of being part of more
Than who you are.

Your one of many in
An endless story.
And we'll join our story
To you ‘fore anon.

Your just a step ahead and
Soon we follow.
You'll greet us then
And lend a helping hand

We'll sing to you our
Many many stories
And have you take
Us by your own hand.
