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; and 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
"And finally,
I gave her a tear to shed
This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
You see:
"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."
