WOMEN have strengths that amaze men.
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
or relative after a snowy drive home.
WOMEN have special qualities about them.
They volunteer for good causes.
They are pink ladies in hospitals,
they bring food to shut ins.

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 justice.
They are in the front row at PTA meetings.
They vote for the person that
will do the best job for family issues.

WOMEN walk and talk the extra mile
to get their children in the right schools and
for getting their family the right health care.
They write to the editor, their congressmen and
to the "powers that be" for things
that make for a better life.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

WOMEN stick a love note in their husband's lunch box.
They do without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.

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.
They cry when their children excel and
cheer when their friends get awards.

WOMEN are happy (or cry) when they hear
about a birth or a new marriage.
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'S touch can cure any ailment.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
She 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.
All they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same
to people you come in contact with.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the
figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because
that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty
in a woman is reflected in her passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
