Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 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 mum 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; and 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: 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. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
