Yu should almost never use the word "just". it is seldom necessary and it musddies up meaning bu softening the impact of your verb. perhaps "to" would be an apt replacement.

I believe 'that' would work more appropriately in this situation. What do you think?

ABSOLUTELY. bravo. Huge difference that adds to the impact of the poem.

P.S. I apologize about my comments being fraught with typographical errors.
