THE WEDDING AT CANA
Concerning twenty-one years Scripture's silent
And about Saint Joseph, its writing speak no more
Tradition tells his death was far from violent
His dear soul simply slipped out from their door
Since Jesus and Mary were left on their own
At the start of the Lord's public life
It accordingly chanced that the two were alone
When the wedding at Cana arrived
The wine had run out and the bridegroom felt shy
"Please help them," of Christ Mary asked
He demurred, refusing: "It's not yet my time,"
But: "Do as He says: Fill the casks."
Christ's earliest public miracle occurred at Mary's request
It illustrated to the world that He loved His mother best
