Why Women Cry

Why Women Cry...

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. "
