For Megan and Jacob

One says
that your first miracle
was at a wedding:
celebrating love,
astonishing, intoxicating –
the kind of stuff
to leave you 
walking on air.

Love is what it takes
to make the other
miracles true:
to calm the storm,
soothe the sick,
to keep the dead alive,
to forgive and not to forget,
with heart and soul and body.

At the wedding, 
at first
you said that this
was not what you
were called to do,
then, looking on
you saw the bride
and groom, love 
shimmering between
and you remembered
what love is for 
and that you are for 
love, that
you have been for eternity;

You raised your hand
in blessing and
toasted them with wine.
