A Tear For Mankind

'Why are you crying?' a boy asked his mom.
'Because I'm a woman' she told him.
'I don't understand,' he said.
His mom just hugged him and said,
'And you never will'

Later the little boy asked his father,
'Why does mother 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 on the phone, the man said,
'GOD, why do women cry so easily?'

GOD said.......
'When I made women 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 an inner strength
to endure childbirth and the rejection
that many times comes 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
and all circumstances,even when
her child has hurt them very badly.

This same sensitivity helps her
make a child's boo-boo feel better
and shares in their teenagers
anxieties and fears.

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.

I gave her a tear to shed,
It's hers exclusively to use
whenever it is needed.
It's her only weakness.
It's a tear for mankind.....
