A little boy asks his mother why she cries. She says it's because she is a woman, but he doesn't understand. When he grows up and asks God why women cry so easily, God explains that women were made specially to bear heavy burdens and give life, with strength, sensitivity and tears to help them endure challenges and care for their families. God gave women tears as their one weakness but also their strength, to use whenever needed.

2. A little boy asks his
mother “Why do you cry?

3. Because I am a woman,
she answers.
“I don’t understand” he
says.
His mother hugs him and
says : “and you never
will”

7. And God answered : “When I created woman, she
needed to be special. I created her shoulders strong
enough to bear the weight of the world… And soft
enough to be comfortable ”

8. I gave her the strength to give life. The kind that accepts
the rejection that often comes from children.

9. I gave her the
strength to allow her
to go on when
everybody else give
up. The kind that
takes care of her
family, despite
illness and fatigue.

10. I gave her the sensitivity to
love her children
unconditionally, even when
they have hurt her deeply.

11. I gave her the strength to endure her husband in his
faults, and to stay at his side without weakening

12. And finally, I gave her tears to shed whenever
she needs them to be shed.

13. You see my son, the
beauty of a woman is not
in the clothes she wears,
nor is it in her face or in
the way she does her
hair…
Madeline Berma@2008

14. The beauty of a woman resides in her eyes. It is
the door to her heart ; the door where Love resides
Madeline Berma@2008

15. And it is often through her tears that you see her heart go
by. It is the care that she lovingly gives or the passion she
shows.
The beauty of a woman with the passing years only
grows. I gave her these tears to shed; they are hers
exclusively to use whenever they are needed.
It's her only weakness. They are tears for mankind.
Madeline Berma@2008

16. I share this with you, because
you are one of those special
women…
