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 hers
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."
