Bloom Where You Are Planted …
“Sana'y di magmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan”
- Ugoy ng Duyan By Lucio San Pedro
But even before our duyan days, our connection with moms are unspeakable, we all came from our mother’s womb, may mas lalapit pa basakoneksyon ng inasaanak?
“Ramdam kita”, ang sambit ng mga nanay sa anak nilang nasasaktan.
“Kilala kita” ang sagot nila sa panahong ang kasiguruduhan sa sarili’y di ganap.
“Naiintindihan kita pero”, mga katagang nagpapahiwatig ng pag-unawa na may kahalong pagtatama.
So do not wonder why they have a say for everything. A mother simply knows! They have wisdom that stems from being a mother, a secret arsenal given by God.
Even if we feel it’s the worst time of our lives, they can make things lighter and encourages us to bloom on that season. They are our number 1 believer! (Now, if you want to understand what faith is? Ask a mom, they have so much faith in their kids!).
Para silang mga bulaklak, their presence makes the place (OUR LIVES) beautiful!
Para silang SAMPAGUITA, busilak ang kalooban. Kung gaano ito kaganda at kalinis, ganun din sila!
Para silang BOUNGEINVILLEA, maganda pero matinik. Take this in a positive tone, they simply know their children best. Their motherly instinct can sense if something is wrong.
Para silang SUNFLOWER, they bring sunshine anywhere! Their presence brings sunshine to our gloomy season! They know how to make us smile (minsan dinadaan sapagkain!).
Para silang GUMAMELA, they bring fun around! Who wouldn’t love a bubbly mom? A mom who knows how to make a bubble-water from Gumamela is double the fun!
Para silang LILIES! A symbol of devotion. Mothers took the cloak of motherhood and devoted their entire existence to the moment we said “uha!”.
Para silang GERBERA DAISIES, they bring cheer even to the wounded soul.
Para silang CARNATION, anytime, anywhere, they are ready to affirm their love and admiration to us.
Para silang ROSES, they bring out the beauty in us kahit ang tinik-tinik na natin!
And finally, para silang TULIPS! Tulips symbolizes love and that is what motherhood is all about, love at its purest form!
Moms keep us in direction, they guide and nurture us to ensure we will bloom where we are planted even if that’s means being away from them!
“Sasara ang bulaklak, bubuka ang bulaklak, Dadadaan ang reyna…. And all will be well!”
