This is a poem i got through email....<P>A little boy asked his mother "Why are you crying?"<BR>"Because I'm a woman," she told him.<BR>"I don't understand," he said.<BR>His mom just hugged him and said"And you never will..."<P>Later the little boy asked his father "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"<BR>"All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say.<P>The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.<P>Finally he put in a call to God; and when God got on the phone, the man said "God, why do women cry so easily?"<P>God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort...<P>I gave her an inner strenghth to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children...<P>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...<P>I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly...<P>I gave her strenghth to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart...<P>I gave her wisdom to know a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strenghts and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly...<P>And finally, I gave her a tear to shed....This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.<P>You see: 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 if a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
