She is Special

Amna Saad June 18, 2001

One day, a young boy asked his Mom.



One day, a young boy asked his Mom.

Why are you crying?"

Because I'm a woman" she told him.

I don't understand," he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said,

And you never will, but that's okay."

Later the little boy asked his father,

Why does Mom seem to cry for
no reason?"

All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still

wondering why women cry. Finally, he put in a call to God.

when God got back to him, he asked,

"God, why do women cry so easily?"

God answered,

When I made woman, I decided she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight

of the world, yet her arms gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and

the rejection that many times will come, even from her own children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and

take care of her family and friends, even when everyone

else gives up, through sickness and fatigue,

without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under

any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her badly.

She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to

quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite

faults, and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never

hurts his wife but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand

beside him unfalteringly. For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear

to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and is her only weakness. When

you see her cry, tell her how much you love her and all she does for

everyone. And even

though she may still cry, you will have made her heart

feel good.

She is special!

Please send this to women you know, and those with

mothers,and sisters, and special women in their lives ...
