This Must be Love: Barack & Michelle Obama
Ever since Barack Obama decided to run for President of the United States there was one thing I noticed – the obvious adoration he has for his wife. I kept my observation to myself, but slowly I realized that many of my female associates and friends were beginning to notice.
The morning after he won the November 4th election, the ladies in the car on my way to work couldn’t stop gushing about the love…they too had finally seen it. His statement, “And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years ... the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady ... Michelle Obama…” had them enthralled. WOW!!! To be so loved they said. They saw what I had noticed from the beginning.
Whenever they were together, the way he looked at her said everything – in his eyes Michelle was all woman and the only woman he had eyes for. There’s no denying that Michelle Obama is a beautiful woman with lots of class, maybe not the most beautiful woman on the planet, but to him she is – you can just tell. Whenever he touched her the tenderness and adoration was so obvious. It made my heart ache for a love so pure and true.
On January 21, the love was again the topic of conversation on the way to work. But surprisingly it was also one of the hottest topics in the office. One co-worker who isn’t the least bit romantic said, “Girl I’m envious…to have a man love me like that.” I asked her about the comment and she said, “The way he touches her, looks at her – God to have a man love you like that is to die for.” Yep, a love like that is to die for – no doubt about it. It also proves that love is beyond the physical but also gives hope that true and timeless love does exist.
Ok, I have gone on and on about President Obama’s love for his wife, but the reverse is also true – the First lady loves her man. Now that is a couple to emulate – it does warm my heart to see their love displayed for the entire world to see.
And so I close with some of the words to one of my favorite love songs by the Bangles: Eternal Flame -
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand? Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming? Is this burning an eternal flame? I believe it's meant to be, darling I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming Or is this burning an eternal flame? Say my name, sun shines through the rain A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain I don't want to lose this feeling
