ART FOR THE HEART NEW WRITING 2

All the flowers were colorful and beautiful, in the Flower's Contest but suddenly and to the surprise of all the beings of the forest who were gathered there, a flower presented herself, but she was so very old, that we even could say, that she was an oldie; she had no color, and a few dry, withered petals. And almost without voice said:
"I came to claim my prize, I certainly am the most beautiful, nobody can compare to me."
"Ha, Ha, Ha, they all laughed and said: "You are so old, so old that you became mad." But she said: " I may be very old, but I will never stop been the most beautiful ever." And the colorful, beautiful flowers said: " Then, let's take this to the judges."

They called the most important judge and it happened that he was Love; he called the withered flower, who went to him, just in the center of the auditorium which was the large forest.

And Love said to the withered flower: " My beloved flower, it has been a long time since I last saw you, you don't know how much I missed you, thinking about you day and night, and for that reason I celebrated all the flowers that lived after you. But, you will always be the only one and the most important for me; all the others were like your shadow, like a memory, a mirage, but you are the true flower."

And the withered flower asked to be allowed to say a few words and addressing all, said: " You may have all the prizes but for me, the main prize is what Love has given me; since time does not pass because of him, time is the present; and although I may look withered, I carry always in me the freshness that Love gave me when we met."

After saying these words that were like magical, she became light and resplendent like one thousand stars and even the rainbow was envious of her light. All the other flowers recognized in that moment that the most beautiful flower was the flower that Love loved.
