A Mothers Tear...
"Why are you crying?" he asked his
Mom."Because I'm a mother" she told him. "I
don't understand," he said. His mom just hugged
him to her 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. One night, he had a
dream. In his dream, he called God on the
telephone. When God came to the phone the
man asked, "God, why do mothers cry so
easily?" God answered him, "My son, you see,
when I made mothers, I knew 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 and mates. 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 needed. It's their
only weakness. It is a tear for mankind.
