Why do Mothers Cry

divider bar
"Why are you crying?" a little boy asked his mom.
"Because I'm a Mother," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said.

His mom just hugged him tightly and said,
"You never will!"

Later the boy asked his father why Mother seemed to cry for no reason.

divider bar
"All mothers cry for no reason," was all his Dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man,
still wondering why mothers cry.
So he finally put in a call to God.

When he got God on the phone the man asked,
"God, why do mothers cry so easily?"

God said,
"You see, when I made mothers, they had to be special.
I made their shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,
yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave them an inner strength to endure childbirth
and the rejection that many times come from their children."

"I gave them a hardiness
that allows them to keep going when everyone else gives up,
and to take care of their families
through sickness and fatigue without complaining."

divider bar
"I gave them the sensitivity to love their children under all circumstances,
even when their child has hurt them very badly.
This same sensitivity helps them to make a child's boo-boo feel better,
and helps them share a teenagers anxieties and fears."

divider bar
"I gave them a tear to shed.
It's theirs exclusively to use whenever it's needed.
It's their only weakness.
It's a tear for mankind."
