Catching

Andrew and Simon having fished all night,
no fish were caught. “Cast your nets to the right.”
   'Twas Jesus they obeyed
   as their nets they then laid
to haul a great catch for their sheer delight.

Feeling unworthy Simon fell to his knees
“Fear not,” said Jesus, “for now if you please,
   if to me you attach
   it is people you'll catch
to join with you both and the Zebedees.”

Luke 5.4-11,
