Why is it that families?
Who are supposed to love one
another?
Sometimes just don’t get on
with each other
Why is it that friends?
Who are from such different
places?
Can get on better than
closer ones
Than they ought to
Thinking of James and John
The sons of Zebedee
The sons of Thunder
Never getting along
Always fighting and
squalling
Never agreeing to disagree
But always exploding like…
The sons of Thunder!
How appropriate of late
My own family
Seems to be
Just like the sons of
Zebedee
Never content, never
peaceful
But always upset and
fighting
Just like in those ancient
days
Being today’s sons (and
daughters) of Thunder
