A little boy asked his mother, " Why are you crying?" " Because I'm a woman, " she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His mum just hugged him and said " And you will never will". . Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mum 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 to the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" 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 give her inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times come 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 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 tears to shed. . This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed. "You see my son," said God, "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or he 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. . RESPECT WOMEN.
