Final Project (Story/Poem)

I know that we are suppose to stay within the guideline of either a story or poem, but this is a quote that I have always liked and I thought it would be nice to give it a visual look. I don't know if this will work out since it is stepping outside of the guideline, but I'll give it a shot anyways.

"We are not enemies, but friends,
  we must not be enemies.
  Though passion may have strained,
  it must not break our bonds of affection.
  The mystic cords of memory will swell
  when again touched as surely they will
  be by the better angels of our nature."

-Abraham Lincoln

This is a rough idea so far.
