Ite ad Joseph
For Joseph Thaddeus Petty
Sunday, 8 October 2017
Then let us go in to Joseph this day,
His day, soft-cradled in his mother’s arms;
He does not rule Egypt, but rather, our hearts
In the ordained hierarchy of love
His sisters in their turns nestle him too -
“Be sure to support his head – yes, that’s right” –
Their playmate new in the garden of life,
Their brother in the cloisters of Creation
He sleeps, so, shhhhhh – now let us slip away
For we have greeted Joseph on this happy day
