[00:01.74]A Woman’s Tears
[00:06.34]“Why are you crying?” he asked his Mom.
[00:11.81]“Because I’m a woman.” she told him.
[00:14.97]“I don’t understand,” he said.
[00:18.48]His Mom just hugged him and said, “And you never will ... ”
[00:24.06]Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”
[00:31.28]“All women cry for no reason.” was all his Dad could say.
[00:36.53]The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
[00:41.56]Finally he put in a call to God;
[00:44.41]when God got on the phone, the man said, “God, why do women cry so easily?”
[00:50.42]God said,“When I made woman she had to be special.
[00:55.56]I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world;
[00:59.84]yet gentle enough to give comfort.
[01:02.46]I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth
[01:06.50]and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
[01:10.45]I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up
[01:16.57]and take care of her family through fatigue and sickness without complaining.
[01:21.94]I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances,
[01:28.83]even when her child has hurt them very badly.
[01:32.55]I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults
[01:37.14]and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
[01:41.08]I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife,
[01:46.34]but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
[01:52.68]I gave her a tear to shed.
[01:55.02]It’s hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.
[01:59.07]It’s her only weakness.
[02:01.04]It’s a tear for mankind.”
