Analysis of Joseph: fatherly mentor
I find it hard
To father Him
Someone had to get the chore.
The pressing delightful
But here he is at twelve years.
Agreeable and faultless.
Must he stay this way?
Will it see him through?
Work and trade.
From other kids.
Lies and thievery.
For His purity.
Mary, is this job
God be praised.
Is Destiny assured?
