Mother's

Mom, Why are you crying?

        Why are you crying?" he asked his Mom.    

     "Because I'm a mother" she told him

    " I don't understand," he said

        His Mom just hugged him and said, "You never will"

        Later the little boy asked his father

    why Mother seemed to cry for no reason.

        "All mothers cry for no reason"     was all his dad could say.

        The little boy grew up and became a man,   still wondering why mother cry.

        So he finally put in a call to God     and when God got on the phone         the man said "God, why do mothers cry so easily."

        God said, "You see son,         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     comes 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.

        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 teenager's anxieties and fears.

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