Why  Mothers  Cry
"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 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
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
Teenager's 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.
