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."
