Squabbling with words; spats in opposition can bring about discord and suspicion Christians should be able to live in harmony or their accord and union will atrophy What kind of world must humans think to mold in bringing warmth and not a chilling cold fashioning traits with kind words of diction not spawning hurtful thoughts, causing friction Antagonism unfolds to reveal hostility ruining mutual trust and tranquility With staunch optimism, I faithfully pray that no chasm of rancor will whorl my way For as long as the risen sun casts mornings in glory we will not bind our souls with fear and worry Each night a profusion of stars shine from above I pray one day we will all share brotherly love.

Thanks, Jan. I read it three times to be sure there were no Es, and Socrates' quote was a perfect fit for this write. ;-)
