hope prompts faith
faith instills trust
and leads to care
so I engender trust
by being pleasant
by doing good
random acts of kindness
do no harm
and kindness begets kindness
can’t we all get along
assume I am not a threat
and pose no danger
to behave civilly
overcomes crudity
and prevents cruelty
yes trust fosters communion
sharing mitigates hate
and promotes confidence
I wave to the stranger
I answer the door
I welcome the visitor

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way:
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say,
'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called
me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so
smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
