Inspiration - How Great Is Love

"How Great Is Love"

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including

LOVE.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink,
so all prepared their boats and left the island. LOVE was
the only one who stayed behind. You see, LOVE wanted to wait
until the last possible moment before leaving.

The island was almost sunk, and 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 for you."

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

Sadness was close by so ... LOVE called to Sadness for help,
but Sadness answered ... "LOVE, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by LOVE too; Happiness did not hear the cry for help for Happiness was so happy.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come LOVE, I will take you":
It was an Elder's name. When they arrived at dry land,
the Elder went on Its way. 
LOVE realizing how much it owed the Elder
asked Knowledge, another Elder, "Who helped me?"

"It was Time", Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked LOVE,
"But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep Wisdom and answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how
"GREAT LOVE IS."
