THE BEAUTY OF LOVE. ♥

THE BEAUTY OF LOVE
by: Author Unknown, A 5th Portion of Chicken Soup for the Soul

The question is asked, "Is there anything more beautiful in life than a boy and a girl clasping clean hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?"

And the answer is given. "Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled, but still clasped; their faces are seamed, but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired, but still strong with love and devotion for one another. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love."

This story struck my heart. I have no idea why. It's short but it has a deeper meaning. :) Lovely. :D
