God, why My Mommy is Crying?

A Boy frequently asked to his God,
“God, why my Mom is Crying?”

God said, “Because your Mom is a woman.
When I made women she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world;
Yet, gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth
And the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I give her a hardness that allows her to keep going
When everyone else gives up
And take care of her family though 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 them very badly.

This same sensitivity helps her make a child’s boo-boo fell better
And shares in their teenagers anxieties and fears.

I gave her strength to carry her husband thourgh his faults
And 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 test her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

I gave her a tear to shed, it’s hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.
It’s her only weakness. It’s a tear for mankind.”
