“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 okay.”
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. 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 carry the weight of the world yet
her arms gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her the inner strength
to endure childbirth. 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 the 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 this hard work , I also gave her a tear to shed.
It is hers to use whenever needed and 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…SHE IS SPECIAL!”
