Prison Dreams - Genesis 40 Poem

More about Prison Dreams - Genesis 40 Poem

In Egypt's jail, a dungeon deep
Two prisoners found themselves in keep
A cupbearer and baker, confined
In Joseph's care, their fate entwined
They dreamed their dreams, troubled and vexed
Seeking answers, they felt perplexed
Joseph, gifted with insight divine
Interpreted dreams with wisdom fine
To the cupbearer he revealed
A future bright, his fate unsealed
Restored to Pharaoh's favor high
He'd be released, no longer tied
Encouraged by Joseph's skill
The baker shared his dream at will
But Joseph's words, a different tone
A somber fate, his dream made known
Three days would pass, and he would fall
His life cut short, a bitter gall
Fulfillment came, as Joseph spoke
The baker's fate, a heavy yoke
The cupbearer's freedom, as foretold
But he forgot, as days unrolled
Joseph remained, in prison cell
Forgotten, in a lonely spell
In Genesis 40, a story told
Of dreams and fate, both brave and bold
Of Joseph's gift, a guiding light
In darkest hours, a glimmer bright.
