2 Nephi 20:17 -- "And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame, and shall burn and shall devour his thorns and his briers in one day . . . "
Some fires you don't want to douse or stop their spreading far;
the flame of faith a roaring blaze should reach each distant star.
Yet not by sword nor censure should the conflagration grow,
but by example we must kindle blazes here below.
He whose right it is to reign may physic fire send,
but you and I are not to judge, but try to be a friend.
We all have thorns and briers that delay our path to God,
and should pray that when they're burnt a better path can trod!
