One day...
A young man was standing in the middle of the town
proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart it was PERFECT
There was not a MARK or a FLAW in it
Suddenly,
an old man appeared and said,
"You heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine."
The young man looked at the old man's HEART
It was beating strongly,
but it was full of scars,
jagged edges and holes.
He laughed.
"You must be JOKING" he said.
"Compare your heart with mine. Mine is PERFECT and yours is a mess of scars and tears."
"Yes." said the old man
"Every scar represents a person to whom I have given my LOVE, I tear out a piece of my HEART and give it to them and often they give me a piece of their HEART which fits into the empty place in my HEART, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I CHERISH because they remind me of the love we SHARED..
SOMETIMES, I have given pieces of my heart away and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me..
These are the empty gouges, -giving love, is taking a chance.
Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the LOVE, I have for these people too.. and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting.."
"So now do you see what true BEAUTY is?"
"What your HEART like?"
"Did you protect it so well that it is perfect without scars?"
"Have you touched someone's LIFE today?"
Sometimes it hurts, but that is when LIFE counts!!!
(^___^) smile yah!!
