The Heart is True
Hope is magnificent
Hope is magnanimous
Hope is the motivator
of impossible dreams
Dreams are touchstones
Dreams are troublesome
Dreams are the vessel
in which we pour faith
Faith is a gift
Faith is belief in yourself
Faith is the blanket
shielding your heart
The heart is the truth
The home of the soul
The holder of hope
The keeper of dreams
The producer of faith

Excellent !
Hope, dreams, faith and heart:
Without hope, there's nothing to have faith for. Most hope lives in the mind. But hope gives you the agility to expect.
Without dreams, we remain as we are. but dreams gives you a pace for life.
Faith is not God will do it but you, believing that you shall truly become what you think about.
In general, the heart delivers hope, dreams and faith.
Very motivational! Nicely written!
"By virtue of creativity, my literary genre is poetry".

It is good
It is a good poem but I cannot help but think of that line in "The Shawshank Redemption", "Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane."

Because of the word
Magnanimous. As in when Red (Morgan Freeman) as narrator talks about Hadley drinking the beers on the roof job “…the colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous.” It’s a favorite line of mine and it’s likely where I learned the word.

But I have Andy’s optimism
Nobody knows but I have a tunnel out of my despair with my writing and music projects. So I’m more like Andy’s letter to Red at the end of the film. “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things…”
