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’.
