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 mum 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, the man said, "
God, why women cry so easily?"
God said, "When I made women 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 come 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 them
very badly.
This same sensitivity helps her make a child's boo
hoo feel better and
shares in their teenagers' anxieties and fears.
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 hers
exclusively to use
whenever it is needed. 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."
Every woman is beautiful.
