"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?"
And 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 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 , 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."
