Jail To Fame

Joseph so refused to sin
He ended up in jail 
Jesus too refused to sin
And He never did fail

His God kept kept Him so safe
While He languished in pain
His God kept Him sane
And kept Him in His lane
Of truth and righteousness
And beauty for His dress
Peace and glory He had gained
After He had not complained

Joseph rose from jail to fame
From the rough end of the ride
And to him the glory came 
With God always by his side

Fair enough. Joseph kept the faith, that's for sure. Amazing how he was whisked out of the slammer once Pharaoh knew how useful he could be as a dream-interpreter, eh?! Thanks for posting, Lady Mar. Welcome to Poetry Soup, and write on, please! Joy and Light, Gershon
