This mother's day I thought the best way to honor my mother was to see her through the eyes of my oldest brother. My mother is a Wonder Woman of sorts. She's an amazing woman who is more of a behind the scenes type character and well... she does not show emotion in public. My older brother did something that hasn't been done in the 33 years my Mom has been... well... a Mom.
He exposed her soul... the soul of a mother's love. He did in a room full of people during the "Mother and Son" dance at his wedding. The genius of my brother is the song he played for this special dance was in Spanish. Yes, did I say Genius? You see the only people present in the room that would understand the lyrics were the ones that had been witness to the beauty of my mother's soul. Her parents, siblings, and children. We understood this moment and appreciated the moment for what it was... a lifetime of love, and a gesture of gratitude from a child to his mother. Her emotion would translate the lyrics to guests in the room. Simply put... a mother's love for her son and a rare glimpse into my mother's beautiful soul.
The song was simple and the lyrics go like this...
A spring of affection, an immense sea of relief, little piece of heaven in my heart.
Dearest mother your existence has been a blessing for me, that child I remain to you.
What I can tell you, mother will never be enough, except that I'm a part of your sincerity.
Today with her in my soul, mother I want to tell you that you've done what's best for my life.
I love, I love your happiness, I love your well meaning gaze, your tenderness and kindness.
I love, the tiredness of your walk, and the traces in your skin, they were born for so much love, I love you, Mom.
The dance represented the love of my siblings and the appreciation of everything my Mom sacrifices daily. Mamma te Amo... We love you around the World, past the Moon, Milky Way, to Infinity, and Beyond! May you have the happiest of Mother's Day while you're at work saving people from themselves. You are our super hero... our Wonder Woman!
