Why Women Cry

Why are you crying", a young boy asked his Mom.
"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, but that's o.k."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does Mom 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 asked "God, why do women cry so easily?

GOD answered......
When I made woman, I decided she had to be special. I made her
shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet,
made her arms gentle enough to give comfort...

I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection
that many times will come even from her own children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of
her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, 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 badly....

She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better
and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears...

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults and I
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....

For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers
to use whenever needed and it is her only weakness....

When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her, and all she
does for everyone, and even though she may still cry, you will have made
her heart feel good.

She is special!
