Farewell and Forgiveness - Genesis Chapter 50 Poem

More about Farewell and Forgiveness - Genesis Chapter 50 Poem

Joseph wept, with grief so deep,
As Jacob passed, in final sleep,
He mourned his father, with tears and pain,
And vowed to honor his legacy's reign.
He sought permission from Pharaoh's throne,
To bury Jacob, in Canaan's own,
With honor and pomp, a grand farewell,
For Jacob, his father, he loved so well.
He led the mourning, with a heavy heart,
His family grieved, torn apart,
But Joseph knew, in God's great plan,
That death was not the final span.
He forgave his brothers, who once betrayed,
Their guilt and shame, now truly laid,
He saw God's hand, through every trial,
His heart embraced, a forgiving smile.
He reassured them, with gentle grace,
That God's redemption, was in this place,
He promised care and provision wide,
For all their days, with love applied.
In Genesis 50, a story of farewell,
Of forgiveness given, a grace to tell,
God's providence, in every turn,
His faithfulness, we must discern.
A tale of endings, but also of hope,
God's promises, in full scope,
For in the midst of grief and pain,
God's love and mercy, forever sustain.
