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, he asked, "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 inner strength to endure childbirth, and the rejection that comes many times 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. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all 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 strength and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly."
"And finally I gave her a "tear" to shed. This is her's exclusively to use whenever its needed. You see my son, said God, the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the 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.
