The Three Pearls of Life

The Three Pearls of Life
A poem about the three princesses of my life, inspired by Ancient Greek Wisdom

S, M and M are the three pearls of my existence
Giving my poor life, God’s harmonious essence
As they kindly provide my soul with pure energy
To travel along the pathways of flowing serenity 

For they taught me how to be really better
As my troubled psyche strives to travel
Searching for places to eventually go
And wicked habits to quickly forego

I pray to Him to make them always happy
For I truly love them all, to heaven’s eternity
As their sentiments rain upon me all the time
Making my emotions never to take a slow stride

Come on my beautiful princesses, rejoice,
Let happiness be your only life’s choice
For I need you more than my continuous breath
As you pacify my long journeys upon this Earth

Always taking into deep consideration the meaning of the following ancient Greek Sayings:
Anaxagoras: ‘The seed of everything is in everything else’.
Aristotle: ‘Family is the cell of life’. 
Pythagoras: ‘Love of husband and wife is requisite for parentage on its highest plane’; 
Seven Sages: ‘Honor your family’. ‘Love the people you feed’. ‘Be kind to your own people’. ‘Govern and protect your family’. 
Sophocles: ‘Be beneficial to others with what you have and what you can; it’s your most kind act’.

Your poems are wonderful pearls... reminding me of Steinbeck short novel with similar title.May be you know it as kind of parable: A poor man find a shell brought by the waves on the beach.At first he wants sell it to improve the life of his family. They are a lot of clients, each having a motivation to buy it in hope maybe there is pearl in it.Great expectations linked with. A writer buys it finally and even without checking its content throw it back in the sea... sometimes somebody find it
