Waiting......

Received this lovely story from a friend of mine..... So sweet in a sense, I think.....
Hoping and waiting......


Once upon a time there was an island where all the
feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including
love.

One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island
was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their
boats to leave.

Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to
preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment.

When the
island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began
looking for someone to ask for help.

Just then Richness was passing by
in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?”

Richness answered, ” I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on
my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere.”

Then Love decided
to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love cried
out, “Vanity, help me please.”

“I can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You are
all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.”
Next, Love saw Sadness passing
by.

Love said, “Sadness, please let me go with you.”
Sadness
answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but, I just need to be alone now.”
Then, Love
saw Happiness.

Love cried out, ” Happiness, please take me with you.”
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn’t hear Love calling to him. Love
began to cry.

Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love, I will take you
with me.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to
ask the elder his name.

When they arrived on land the elder went on his
way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.

Love then found
Knowledge and asked, “Who was it that helped me?”

“It was Time”,
Knowledge answered.

“But why did Time help me when no one else would?”,
Love asked.

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity,
answered,
“Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love
is.”




Love.... Love.... Love.... Not easy man.... but somehow hehe....
