Melina: The Rose in my Heart
A poem of love to my blue-eyed wonderful grand-daughter
inspired by Ancient Greek Wisdom
You are the only one, my beautiful
The power of my tiny humble soul
The red rose in my heart’s garden
The tree of life in my mind’s Eden
For I love thee, ever more and always
As I traverse the turbulent pathways
Across my brain’s rugged landscapes
On the way to my Elysian everglades
I pray, my dearest, to our God Almighty
To keep you psyche well, safe and tidy
So that His will be done harmoniously
Alleviating all my troubles permanently
Always taking into deep consideration the following wise sayings:
1. By Empedocles: ‘Harmony defines the unity of Nature’.
2. By Democritus: ‘Harmony defines human happiness’.
3. By Plato: ‘Truth, virtue and goodness are the three most critical values of humanity’.
4. By Sappho: ‘The beautiful person is only so in appearance while the good person is also kind while being at the same time beautiful in appearance’.
