Women have strengths that amaze men. They carry children, they carry
hardships, they carry burdens... but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous... women
wait by the phone for a "safe at home call" from a friend after a snowy drive
home. Women friends keep secrets you told them years ago and never bring
it up again. Women have special qualities about them. They volunteer for
good causes. They are pink ladies in hospitals, they bring food to shut-ins

.

They are childcare workers, executives, attorneys, stay at home moms, biker
babes and your neighbors. They wear suits, they wear jeans,
and they wear uniforms.

They fight for what they believe in. They stand up for injustice. They
are in the front row at PTA meetings. They vote for the person that will
do the best job for family issues. They walk and talk the extra mile to
get their children in the right schools and for getting their family
the right health care.

They write to the editor, their congressmen and to "the powers that be" for
things that make for a better life. They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They can wipe a tear, cover a cut and pat you on the back at the same time.

They eat a little so their family can have more. They rush to school to
pick up a sick child. They stick a love note in their husband's lunch box.

They do without new shoes so that their children can have them. They go to
meetings and are chaperones on class trips. They go to the doctor with
a frightened friend.

They don't make excuses for defending their family or friends. They give a
friend some money in times of trouble. They love unconditionally. They
are loyal, honest, and forgiving. They are smart, knowing that knowledge
IS power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.

Their world consists of goodness, love and caring. Women want to be the
best for their family, their friends and themselves. They cry when their
children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They get teary
eyed when others do great things. They save their anger for the unjust and
the insincere. They tell people that need to be told to straighten up
their act. They lend a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen and
a voice to make suggestions.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts
break when a friend dies. They have so much sorrow at the loss of a
family member, yet they are strong when they think there is not any
strength left. They can control situations that seem uncontrollable. They
can round up energy when they are tired. They can stay up a little longer
to talk to someone that needs a friend. They will rush to be by your side
when they are lonely. They will give up their favorite TV show to help
with homework or read a bedtime story.

A woman's touch can cure any ailment. They know that a hug and a kiss can
heal a broken heart. She can make a romantic evening unforgettable. She
can bring out the best in her husband, children and friends. They don't
mind standing in the shadows. They are not there to push,
but to gently encourage.

They are cheerleaders, teachers, loves and important in many peoples daily
lives. They can whisper a kind word, scream a loud cheer and laugh away a
fear. They can mend your broken spirit and give you back your self-esteem.
They can knit a family back together after a break or a loss... Women come
in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They live in homes, apartments,
cabins and trailers. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how
much they care about you. They have hearts that forgive and forget an
injustice. They have hearts that remember a kindness. They have hearts
that beat with loyalty and love. The heart of a woman is what makes the
world spin. They can cry and laugh at the same time.
They can be sad and hopeful at the same time.

Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They teach
us to dream and make goals. They give compassion and ideals. They climb
into a person's life and make everything better again. They give moral
support to their family and friends. And all they want back is a hug, a
smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with.

Women are leaders, but don't want followers. They want people to grow into the
best person they can be. They want to touch you in a way that will make
you share your goodness with others. One touch can turn a bad day into a
better one. One extra minute of her time will make a child feel special.
One more kiss will make her husband feel loved. Women have a lot to say
and a lot to give. . .
