Once apond a time

willyweed

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, there lived a young man who was very lucky for he was given the gift of love, he just did not know it, yet! He had a normal childhood; well perhaps it was a bit mischievous. One day he met a young woman whom he was quite fond of the more he thought about the young women, the more his fondness grew. Then one day not to very long after they meet, war darkened the land. The young man was sent off to war, with all the other young men to uphold the ways of the kingdom. Whenever danger loomed and a battle was engaged, the young man thought about the young women. Somehow, this sustained the young man. He survived the wars and returned home to seek out the young woman. His fondness for her, blossomed into love, and soon after he asked the young woman to be his bride. She said that she would and so they were married. The young woman taught the young man true love and many other things and their union brought forth many children. There lives together were happy, not to say that they did not have their share of problems, as people do. However, they had bread to eat and their children to love, and a home to live in all together. The young man and the young woman grew older, as did their children. The children brought forth children of their own. The young man and the young woman now grew very old, always remaining together, until the young man who now was very old and exhausted finally passed away. Now the young man was very confused, because he knew that he had died. However, he could see that he was in a beautiful place, and he looked and felt as young as he did when he first met the young women. The young man wandered around this beautiful garden, where he came upon a wonderful Golden Gate. Sentries dressed in golden armor their golden swords sheathed in gilded scabbards guarded the gate. The sun shone so brightly upon the golden gates that it hurt the young mans eyes as he walked nearer the gate. The guardian loosed his sword from its scabbard and demanded the young man halt. You dare to enter the kingdom of the ONE! What have you learned of life? What was best for you? The young man was afraid and humbled, and fell to his knees. It was she, the young woman the young man cried. She taught me of love! It is love you must learn in life, the guardian replied, rise off your knees and enter young man for you have found the meaning of life! Smile and fear not young man, your young bride will be here soon enough. All you need is love to enter!
