Wrong Size

it matters little that the world
   may often be harsh and wicked,
      for it is no match to that gentle,

     compassionate warmth that dwells
        and swells inside the core of us,
           that fans the flames of our being,

because, fortunately, the heart
   is magnetized by lofty dreams
      that soar way above the skies,

      enticed by persevering hopes
         that are often the wrong size
            of this only planet of ours.
