"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
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 fatigue and sickness without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances,even when her child
has hurt them 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.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."
