"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  o.k.".......
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 carry the weight of the world, yet, made
her arms gentle enough to give comfort...
I gave  her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection
that many  times will come even from 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.  She is  special!"
