WHY DO 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 firmness 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 elusively 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.
