By the time the
Lord made woman,
He was into his
sixth day of working overtime..
An angel appeared
and said,
"Why are you
spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord
answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be
completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200
movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run
on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that
can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that
can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will
do everything with only two hands."
The angel was
astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!?
No way!
And that's just
on the standard model?
That's too much
work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."
But I won't,"
the Lord protested.
"I am so close
to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals
herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved
closer and touched the woman.
"But you have
made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft,"
the Lord agreed,
"but I have also
made her tough.
You have no idea
what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be
able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will
she be able to think,
she will be able
to reason and negotiate."
The angel then
noticed something,
and reaching
out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks
like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that
you were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a
leak,"
the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear
for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said,
"The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her
pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness,
her grief and her pride."
The angel was
impressed.
"You are a genius,
Lord.
You thought of
everything!
Woman is truly amazing."
And she is!
Women have strengths
that amaze men.
They bear hardships
and they carry burdens,
but they hold
happiness, love and joy.
They smile when
they want to scream.
They sing when
they want to cry.
They cry when
they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for
what they believe in.
They stand up
to injustice.
They don't take
"no" for an answer
when they believe
there is a better solution.
They go without
so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when
their children excel
and cheer when
their friends get awards.
They are happy
when they hear about
a birth or a wedding. Their hearts
break when a friend dies.
They grieve at
the loss of a family member,
yet they are
strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that
a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart. Women come in
all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive,
fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much
they care about you.
The heart of
a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy,
hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral
support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER,
IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH. PLEASE
pass this along to all your female friends and relatives
to
remind them just how amazing they are.
