Hers is the desire to Love
By Eric Paolo N. Quejano
Hers is the desire to love. A love that can only be made complete by a man. As their feelings grow mature and materialize, they were mutually tested through fire and ice. Not long enough, both wonderful beings decided to take their emotions to the next level. Soon they were bound by a promise that they will remain and stay true to each other until death do they part.
Hers is the desire to love. And this love later on was reciprocated by his yearning to love and to live. Both having much love to give, it soon materialize and a new distinctive being was introduced to the world – which was you.
Hers is the desire to love. A love that cannot be replaced by any matter on this world. For hers is the only love that can bear any pain and suffering and sacrifice for nine long months. No man can surpass the unconditional love she possesses. I for one may not know in detail her desire to love, but the fact that I existed is enough to be forever in gratitude.
Hers is the desire to love. And this love she used to build a home – a family. A place where everyone feels safe. A place where everyone can stay true, can grow and can share their love. A place sustained and guided by her light. A light that can be used in times of darkness and distress.
Hers is the desire to love. A love she will pass from generation to generation. A love that will grow and will always be remembered. A love that will be the reason why all of us have existed. A love that offers nothing but an assurance that we will not be forsaken. A love that only a mother – our mother could give.
To all the mothers, moms, mama, nanay, inay, ina, ibu, moeder, mater, mamma, mhathair or whatever you call your mom – a HAPPY MOTHER’s DAY!
