WHAT GIVES THIS WORD SUCH POWER
IT HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING SUCH JOY AND HAPPINESS TO ALL WHO USE IT.
YET IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE IT CAN CAUSE SUCH PAIN AND SORROW TO THOSE TO WHOM IT HAS LEFT.
IT CAN MAKE YOUR HEART RACE WITH PURE EXCITEMENT,AND RESTORE LIFE INTO ONE WHO HAS FELT ALONE AND LIFELESS. JUST AS QUICKLY, IT CAN SHATTER YOUR HEART AS IF MADE OF GLASS AND PUSH THOSE GLASS SLIVERS SO DEEP IN YOUR SOUL YOU FEEL ABANDONED BY GOD HIMSELF
IT IS SOMETHING WE LOOK FOR WITH ANTICIPATION AND JOY, IN HOPES OF FINDING ITS UNPARALLELED FEELING. TURN AROUND TO QUICKLY AND IT HAS THE ABILITY TO MAME,DESTROY AND EVEN END ONES LIFE.
WE NEVER STOP LOOKING FOR IT UNTIL WE FIND IT,BUT ONCE WE LOOSE IT WE FEAR TO SEARCH FOR IT AGAIN AS TO NEVER HAVE TO FEEL THE PAIN IT CAN BRING.
WHAT GIVES ONE SIMPLE WORD SUCH CONTRADICTION IN ALL ITS FORMS.
IT IS SOMETHING WE HOPE TO FIND FOREVER BUT IN TRUTH THAT CAN NEVER BE.. IT MUST AND WILL COME TO AND END.
IT HAS THE ABILITY TO START AND END OF ITS OWN FREE WILL AND WITHOUT CONCERN OF CONSEQUENCE OF THOSE INVOLVED.
ALTHOUGH IT IS AS MORTAL AS WE ARE, ITS POWER STAYS ETERNAL.
ITS HAS EXISTED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, YET IS EXTINGUISHED FOR SO MANY EVERYDAY.
WE AS PEOPLE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT, YET IT GOES ON LONG AFTER WE ARE GONE. I KNOW OF ONLY ONE THING WHICH HOLDS SUCH POWER OVER HUMANITY ITSELF.
WHEN IT IS INSIDE YOU ,YOU ARE WITHOUT FEAR AND KNOW THE JOY THAT LIFE TRULY IS.
BUT WHEN IT LEAVES YOU,YOU ARE EMPTY,SHALLOW, REMORSEFUL,AND BLAME ONLY YOURSELF FOR ITS LOSS.
ITS BEEN CALLED "A MANY SPLENDID THING" BUT LOOSE IT AND FIND THE PAIN WILL NEVER FORGIVE,FORGET OR END.
