Once upon a Time

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 the feelings that the island would sink!
So all constructed boats and left.
Expect for love.
Love was the only one who stayed.
Love wanted to hold out until the last moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat.
Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat.
There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was passing by in a beautiful vessel.
"Vanity, please help me!'
Vanity answered, "I can not help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,"

Sadness was close by so Love asked,
"Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh... Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you."
It was an elder.
So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.

Realizing how much was owed to the elder,
Love asked Knowledge another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"it was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?' asked Love. "But why did time help me?'
Knowledge smiles with deep wisdom and answered.
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

Rowena,

An instructive tale that inspires to think/reflect!
Nice and so real at the same time when we think about others in those several different mindsets.

Yes, we do.. for each I do hope they realize time does not cost nor does it hurt but it certainly can help in feeling love and giving it also

I hope she’s ok
I hope she’s doing well
Maybe she’s moved on
Maybe she’ll love again
I know she held out
Until the water came in
I know she didn’t drown
As I felt her leave
Where she went
Only time knows

So sorry, sounds like you miss her

I've seen this poem before. I love it. Thanks for sharing it.

"Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

It is one that has a lot of meaning

Time is the most valuable thing we have and we can provide it, although it is not always valued...


Rowena_H_of_A replies on 12/14/2022 6:11 am:
I agree, but when we do it makes it worth it

Love appreciates time even more than time appreciates love.

There is always time for love.

Once upon a time the west was undiscovered by Europeans. I wonder if that is what inspired Sergio Leone's epic.

btw, My blog is open again.

I am not sure of Sergio's Leone's epic.
It is nice your blog is open again.

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again

....from the musical "All American".

But... we can make it as good as we can and be as happy as we can
