A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you
crying?"
"Because I am a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand?!?!" he said.
"And you never will," replied the mother.
Later the boy asked his father, "Why dose
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 the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
And this is what God said, "When I made women
she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentile enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from children. I gave her 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 strenght 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."
