For the Most Special Woman in the World

Blessed is she for hers is the power of nature to bear human kind into this world. Perfection is her beauty that nurtures the best in every child. Patience is her virtue that guides children in their preparation for an adult life.

She is a woman, one of a kind, a sanctuary of love and affection. Her tenderness and concern strengthen a weary soul. Her wisdom enlightens a gloomy home. Her caress lifts the downcast spirit in her family. Her smile germinates joy in her house. She wipes a crying child's tears away with her compassion.

She nourishes her husband and children with the meals she passionately prepares. She protects her young from fear and anxieties. She tends to be possessive and over protective because she feels what her children feels. She clothes her household with the warmth of her love.

With her instinctive knowledge she teaches her children to have sensibility in life. Before they go to school, her children learns from her their ABCs. While a father would point to their children what they did wrong, she would, in her volition, tell her children what to be done and what is the right thing to do.

She heals by her touch and embrace. She keeps watch of her bed-ridden children until they recuperate. By the side of her sick children's bed, she would whisper to God to take her children's pain away from them, and bear it upon her. She is her children's refuge.

She is the most special woman in the world. She is called in many languages, mother, mom, mommy, mama, nanay, inay, inang, nay, iloy, mudra, mamu, madir, maderaka... You can call her by many other names, but she will always be one and the same - a mother who bore the pain of labor for you to be in this world. A mother who took care of you so you find yourself to where you are now.

She deserves more than any gift that your wealth can afford - loving her back. You can never repay whatever she has done for you. Besides, she never asks that from you. A big hug, a kiss, and saying "I love you mom, and thank you mom for your love", sincerely coming from your heart is the best gift this mother's day for the most special woman in the world. If you can't physically be with her, an unexpected call from you is something she is waiting for.

To all moms in this world. Happy mother's day, and thank you for bringing us into this world and in giving us life. Thank you for understanding us, when we do not understand our selves, and when we want to get away from your protection and care because we are lost to feel that love from you. Thank you so much mama, you are a gift in our lives and a blessing unto our world.
