very nice poem, making hope and reminding our faith, but I don't know the name of poem, I mean the meaning of it.
Thank you Hassan, the poem is Biblical and alludes to Joseph the Governor of Egypt at the time. The name Zaph enath peneah or Zaphnathpaaneah is of Egyptian origin. It was the title or name given to Joseph by Pharaoh after his dream was interpreted by. It means giver of life or one to whom secrets are revealed. You can research more on that if you like. I will reflect that in the title. Thank you.
But such is God's wisdom To hide the future from the heart of man For if men were to have the power of foresight To foresee the result of inflicted persecution on their fellow man What then would become of destiny? living in hope is a great idea........ hope gives us reason to go forward... thank u for this noble idea.. tony

Nice poem, the first stanza reminds me of Joseph when his brothers sold him because his was a favourite to their father, Jacob as we read in Genesis
Hi Lungelo. Yes, the poem is about Joseph. Zaph enath paneah, the title, was the Egyptian name given him by Pharoah after Joseph had interpreted his dream. Warm Regards!
