The Three Sisters of Me

On this morning, I rediscovered three of my best friends, the oldest is named "Strength". She's not your everyday "over the counter" quality; she's an unique bastion of power.  "Strength can, has and will withstand a variety of assaults. When the smokes of battle have cleared; there she stands victoriously towering over the threats, weakness and defeat. The entities you DARED to insert into my life!!! Quick to make her "matter of factly" presence known is Strength's baby sister, "Esteem". Esteem is the precious essence in which value is to be found.  She is ever present taking the pointed body shots you have extended towards her. Hoping to somehow render her inert, ineffective and useless. But "Esteem" has a quietly kept secret. That secret is "Fortitude". "Fortitude" the youngest twin sister of "Strength " joins her sibling to form an impenetrable barrier around "Esteem". Protecting her from the onslaughts against her; perpetrated by the enemy.  "Fortitude" assumes the  reconnaissance position following "Strength's" victory. She is vigilance at its finest. Bringing  up the rear, she deals death blows to all who, on your behalf, would come for the most important person in the world..."ME"!!! "ME" is the "off the chain" being that those who wish me ill meet just prior to their executions. "ME" asks few questions and takes no prisoners. She is harsh and unforgiving when taken for granted and dismissed. "ME" is the "Great Ivory Tower", The Holy Grail", "The End All, Be All, Do All" and "The Eight Wonder of The World"!!! You can play the game with Strength, Esteem and Fortitude but when it's over, courtesy of "ME", THEN you'll know the rules!!!
