Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom?
"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, but that's OK"
Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does Mom 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 back to him, he asked "God, why do women cry so easily?"
GOD answered
"When I made woman, I decided she had to be special
I made her shoulders strong enough to form her own children
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going
And take care of her family and friends,
Even when everyone else gives up,
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 badly
She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better
And to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears
I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults
And I 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
For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed
It is hers to use whenever needed and it is her only weakness
When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her,
and all she does for everyone,
and even though she may still cry,
you will have made her heart feel good..
