Behind this portrait represents a mariners’ life. A sailor travels around the globe and meet different cultures and women. He has with him that piece of ring; searching for an accurate finger of a lady, suppose to be his lifetime partner. Fortunately, from thousand of roses, he met a single star that shines perfectly bright and brought her finally to the altar and swore each other in union for better or for worst, richer or poorer, sickness and health, till death they as part.

Love as I see it was like the stars, there were billions of them, but only one will shines bright and make your dreams come true. And that was how my father found his shooting star.

This is my entry to “Love as I see it”. A project of www.islandrose.net flowers Philippines.
