Love's Story Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

Her name was love,

she lived on a beautiful island,

she bathed in the warmth of the sea,

she wore beautiful dresses,

she had no troubles to see.

She danced in the rays of the Sun,

she sang cheerful song

and it was such a fun

to dance all day long.

But one day the weather has changed

taking the kingdom of Love under the water,

making the land space smaller and shorter.

The boats have left in a hurry

leaving Love without any hope

and Love began to worry

thinking of how the trouble to cope.

She asked the Treasures for help

but heard a disappointed answer:

All is here for me only

and there is no place for the others.

Then Love addressed to the Sadness

still trying to survive

The Sadness answered to her:

You can try swimming or may be dive.

Then Love ran to the Gladness

but it could not hear her well

cause of the noise which was like madness.

Loosing any hope Love saw the Time

It flied with big and strong wings and it said:

Come on! Sit down on my wings!

Love smiled happily again

acknowledging it could remain alive

and don't have to dive.

Now Love lives happily on our Land

letting everyone to understand

that it doesn't know kneeling,

it's got her own feeling,

it's got her own wings

and happiness it brings.

There is not enough gold in this world to pay for it,

it is always young and never is old.

That's the story Love has told.
