There once was a woman who possessed a lover so great, his love became greater than all things.
All hated their union, yet the man continued to love, losing his leg the first day.
While all began to slander, the man continued to love despite losing his reputation, being regarded as nothing.
Losing his arms, his love expanding endured as a horse or eagle soaring through the skies.
Finally, he lost even the woman who swore loyalty to him, yet his love flew higher and higher reaching the love of God, and in losing everything he loved nonetheless, soaring into eternity.
There he was limping and broken, through deserts, through barren lands, his love carried him, his woman, and all humanity to behold the beauty and strength of love, now an eternal image to God of his soul.
