Dream, Joseph, Dream Poem by Carol Fleming Klein

Dream, Joseph, Dream



Joseph, your princely coat of colors
is getting small now.
The father in a distant land
weeps over it's tatters
weeps over
the death of your dreams.

Joseph, weave a new coat, now.
Weave it large with hope
color it richly with
dreams that will be.
Dream, Joseph, dream
And the Father will weave.

Joseph,
Dream strong seams in your prince's coat;
rich colors, strong threads,
bind it with eternal dreams.

Joseph,
Your princely coat of colors
is shaping in the hands
of the Master Dream Weaver now.
Dream, Joseph, dream.
and the Father will weave.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I believe the inspiration for this may have come out of some thoughts based on a sermon I heard. This is one of my favorite Bible characters and stories. At the same time, it had a two fold meaning. I was dating someone with the name Joseph, at the time, and I felt the voice of the Father's heart flowing for him, from this prayer poem of mine. And I believe the Father heard!

I believe it continues to be heard, for anyone who knows that they are 'Joseph' in a 'strange land' stripped of their dreams. I believe that if they submit it all to the Father, He will cover them again with His dreams for them.
