The Pearl of Great Price

My pearl of great price, Will not be a sacrifice, The love of my life, My sacred wife, Her named is Pearl, She will have nothing to do with Earl, Of the carnal world, For she is strictly, My Pearl! She is my wife , The wife of my life, I married her when I divorced my youthful wife, Of my mind’s strife! She is the wife of my old age, She has let my soul out of mind’s cage, I didn’t meet her in my tender age, I was not ready to hear her page! When you personally find, One of this kind, A pearl of great price, Pursue her for your wife, By giving up your mind’s strife! For she will not mate, With an ego's persona of hate, Neither will you enter into her narrow gate! She is preserved, For love, that deserves, A husband named Freddy, A soul in love that is ready, So sweep your floor, And weep no more, Your pearl will open her door, When she is totally shore, You’re not looking back, Toward the sack, Of the mind’s scarlet, Harlot! Personally, I’ll do my part, From my heart, From the inner world, Of my pearl, For she is my Girl! For the outer girl, Of the world, Is no pearl, For she is a pigeon pouter, Of the outer, And thinks she is stouter, In the outer, World with Earl! While the pearl of great price, Has no vice And she is meek, But certainly not weak, Very able to keep, The soul of her man, Within God’s plan! Pearl’s inner meekness, Does not mean weakness, For it is the band, without which a man, Would not have substance of love, From above! Now when the mind learns to be meek, Within his soul, he will seek, Pearl's, Inner world! Time will, Stand still, Inside Pearl's real, Deal, And love will be fulfilled, Within my Pearl’s inner world! 4-27-09 johnmosesfreeman@yahoo.com

John, love your appreciation of your wife or the office of wife. Proverbs 31 tells us that a capable wife is worth more than rubies. Sara

That, John is a very nice tribute to a wife with virtue, wisdom, and love. Did you know that there is a book called, "The Pearl of Great Price?" Here's the link. http://www.sacred-texts.com/mor/pgp/index.htm I enjoyed your poem. You have been blessed in your latter years to have found good love. Take care, John. Lovingly, Dane
