A little boy asked his mother,
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm a woman," she told
... him.
..."I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said,
"And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does mother seem to cry for
no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason,"
was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a
man,
still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God.
When God got on the phone,
he asked,
"God, why do women cry so
easily?"
God said:
"When I made the woman she had
to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough
to carry the weight of the world,
yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to
endure childbirth and the rejection
that many times comes from her
children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her
to keep going when everyone else
gives up,
and take care of her family through
sickness and fatigue without
complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her
children under any and all
circumstances,
even when her child has hurt her
very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her
husband through his faults and
fashioned her from his rib to protect
his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a
good husband never hurts his wife,
but sometimes tests her strengths
and her resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.
This is her?s exclusively to use
whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God,
"the beauty of a woman is not in the
clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be
seen in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her
heart - the place where love resides."
