Women have amazing strengths. They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry� burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy� and laugh when they are nervous.

Women wait by the phone�for a "safe at home call" from a friend after a snowy drive home.

They are childcare workers, executives, attorneys, stay-at-home moms, biker babes, and your neighbors.

They wear suits, jeans, and they wear uniforms. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up for injustice.

They walk and talk the extra mile to get their children in the right schools and for getting� their family the right health care. They go to the doctor with� a frightened friend.

Women are honest, loyal, and� forgiving. They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a� point. Women want to be the best for their family,� their friends, and themselves.

Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet� they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

A woman can make a romantic evening� unforgettable.

Women come in all sizes, in all colors and� shapes. They live in homes, apartments and� cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much� they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the� world spin!

Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and� hope.

They give compassion and� ideals.

They give moral support to their family and� friends.

And all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact� with.
