Why mothers cry!
(author unknown to me)

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 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 is
needed. It's their only weakness. It's a tear for mankind".
