A very beautiful text that I am sharing with you
Once upon a time, there was an island
on which all the feelings lived.
Joy, Sorrow, Knowledge
and all the others, including Love.
One day, it was announced
that the island would sink soon
also all the feelings prepared
their boat and they left.
Love was the only one who remained because he wanted to
to stay with the island until it sinks.
When Love
he too nearly sank,
He asked for help...
Wealth passed
on a magnificent boat.
Love asked him:
Riches, will you take me with you?
Wealth replied to him:
I can't,
My boat is filled with gold and silver
and there is no room for you.
Then Love asked Vanity,
who was passing by.
Vanity, please, help me!
I can't help you,
Love, you're all wet
and you could damage my boat”
Vanity replied.
Sadness was not far away
Love also asked him
Sadness, take me with you?!
Oh, my love… I am so sad
that I prefer to continue on my own…
The joy then passed but
She was so joyful
she didn't even hear it
when Love called him!
Suddenly, a voice spoke:
Come, Love,
I'm taking you with me.
It was an Elder. Love was so happy
he forgot to ask her name!
When they arrived in a dry country,
The Old One continued on his way…
Love then asked
to Knowledge
another Elder, who was
the name of the one who had helped him
It was Time,
the acquaintance replied.
Time? But why
Has time helped me?
demand Love.
Only Time can understand
How great is Love.
answered Knowledge.
The moral of this story:
Take the time
to realize what it is
True Love…
