Did Joseph ever doubt?
After withstanding his master’s wife’s advances
Did he ever wish he had not won?
That first night in prison, the first week,
The years of nights with no more kingly dreams,
Did Joseph ever doubt?
Did the thought of her soft bed haunt his hard cell
In unrecorded temptation?
Did he ever wish he had not won?
Waiting for the cupbearer’s return
Every morning until hope died,
Did Joseph ever doubt?
He reached forgiveness, but on the way
Were there not moments… I wonder,
Did he ever wish he had not won?
You live with me now in an unfinished story, but remember to ask
When God had finished this one, then
Did Joseph ever doubt?
Did he ever wish he had not won?
