The Heart

The heart,
The heart is the flame that keeps you going,
Yet the flame can be distinguished just as easily as a candle flame.
You must understand how the heart keeps you going,
How it burns with passion and how it fades with despair.
You must keep this heart beating at a reasonable pace to match the determination that is 
needed to achieve your goals.
Although your heart fades when it faces despair such as death of loved ones, loss of 
companionship, differences in religion, and more you must push these problems aside.
Find the passion deep within, the passion that pursues in something or someone you love 
can push you forward with more determination and passion in a synchronized flow that does 
not fault to any obstacle. Truth in truth, Passion keeps that heart burning bright.
