TURNING WATER INTO WINE: A POETIC RETELLING OF THE FIRST MIRACLE OF JESUS

In the town of Cana, in Galilee's land,
Jesus performed his first miracle grand.
A wedding feast was taking place that day,
But the wine had run out, causing much dismay.

Mary, mother of Jesus, to him did say,
"They have no more wine," in a worried way.
Jesus replied, "What has that to do with me?
My hour has not yet come, can't you see?"

But Mary had faith in her son so dear,
And told the servants, "Do as he says, never fear."
So Jesus asked for six jars of stone,
And filled them with water, to everyone's surprise known.

The water turned into wine, rich and red,
The master of the feast was greatly impressed.
He said, "Usually, people serve the best wine first,
But you have saved the best for last, I must confess."

This miracle of Jesus, the first one done,
Showed his power and glory, to everyone.
It gave hope to those in need of a sign,
That with faith, anything is possible and divine.
