"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.
"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."
"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."
"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."
