love and time

[mood happy]

[music goin crazy by natalie]

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. 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."

Love then decided to ask Vanity, who was passing
in a beautiful vessel, for help. 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."
