"A MOTHERS TEAR"
"Why are your crying?" the boy 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 mothers cry.
So he finally put in a call to God
and when God got on the phone the man asked
"God, why do mothers cry so easily?"
God said, "You see son,
when I made mothers they had to be
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 all mankind."
