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 an d 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 with out 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.’
