MEComposing

to be loved by a mother...

to be held with such tenderness

to be worried over with such protectiveness

to be fought for and defended with vigilance

to be cared for with constancy

to have someone who worries more about yourself than you ever will... who dream dreams for you but allows you to fly in the direction you intended for yourself...

hoping you'd choose well... keeping faith that Life will take care of you for her...

doing and going about things the best way she knows how

always ready... always willing

to surrender all she possesses... her health, her pride, her dreams, her future, her life

but not her love for her children... never her love

so HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to my Mom

and all the other Moms I know who are just like her... perfect in their imperfections...

May I be someday blessed to take on this privileged role.

My boss was at Metrowalk last week with her family. Chino was holding his mother's hand and was happily taking in the scene.

He then turned to his Mom and said...

"Mommy, ang sarap mo talagang kasama... mas masarap pa sa ensaymada"

*~*

And how sad, of course, that not everyone can say he enjoyed a Mother's love... how tragic to know that some mothers are only mothers by virtue of their capacity to give birth...

Maybe we can say a silent prayer for them... people whose own mothers/parents are the first to betray and violate them...
