this is WHY?

"Why are you crying?" he 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"

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 the man
said,
"GOD, why do women cry so easily?"

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, 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...

This same sensitivity helps her to make a child's
boo-boo feel better
and
shares in their teenagers anxieties and fears...

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...

I gave her a tear to shed, It's hers exclusively to
use whenever it is
needed. It's her only weakness... It's a tear for
mankind.
