Joseph Son of David

Sat did thee Within the grasp of thy's chair Pondering on thy life And thy choices thou had yet to make "And Who Is He Begotten Of" Thee did wonder "For He Is Not Of Mine Kindred!" Though exclaimed Slowly thys frustration were building Unable to corrctly make thous choice But behold! Appear in front of thee face An angel with such beautiful grace "Who art thou be!?"

I cannot understand your new avatar my friend - it looks like a tattoo, and intriguing, but not sure?
