TANTRUMS
At 2 or 3 we make them rather openly,
At 66 we make them rather sneakily.
At 86 we’re back to wearing a bib and
banging our fists and forks and the
spaghetti and the meat balls slide to the
floor - as we tell
all in the nursing home:
“I want what I want when I want it.”
How about God? Does God want
his will to be done on earth as it
is in heaven? Are earthquakes and
tornados and tropical storms and
forest fires God’s tantrums? Or
is God’s will - really our will - to be
done on earth and it is in heaven?
