Timeless Love.
Once upon a time, long, long ago. When the world was
full of wonder.
All the feelings and
emotions in the world lived on a small Island: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge
and all the others, including Love. One
day the elders gathered them all together and told them that the Island was
going to sink and so they must all build boats and leave. All obeyed, all that is except for Love. Love
wanted to wait until the last possible moment.
When the Island had almost sunk into the sea, Love
decided to ask for help. Richness was
passing in a boat so love called out to him,
“Richness, can you take me with you?”
“Sorry Love, I cannot. There is a lot of gold and
silver in my boat and there is no place here for you” answered Richness.
Love next asked Vanity who was sailing by in her
boat. However, Vanity was also unwilling
to help her
.
“I cannot help you, Love, You are all wet and might
damage my pretty paintwork” said Vanity.
Next to pass by was Sadness. Love called out to
Sadness,
“Sadness, take me with you”
“I cannot help you, I am so sad that I just want to
be by myself” replied Sadness.
Happiness, loneliness, fear, anger, all passed by
each unwilling to help. Each had their own problems.
Suddenly there was a voice,
“Come, Love, I will take you”
It was one of the elders. An overjoyed Love jumped
into the boat. She was so happy that she completely forgot to ask where they
were going. Eventually they all arrived
at dry land. The elder went on her way leaving Love to decide on where she
wished to go.
Love, realising how much she owed to the elder asked
Knowledge, one of the other elders,
“Who was that elder who helped me”?
“It was Time” answered Knowledge,
“Time?” thought Love. “Why would Time help me?”
Knowledge saw the look of puzzlement upon Love’s
face smiled and said,
“Time helped you because only Time is capable of
understanding how valuable Love is”
Ever since then that is the way it has been and now
the story is yours.
Keep smiling and Happy Valentine's Day.
SilentOwl.
