WOMEN
By the
time the Lord made women, 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 and said, "Have you seen the spec sheet on her? She has to be
completely washable, but not plastic, have 200 movable parts, all replaceable,
run on black coffee and leftovers, have a lap that can hold three children at
one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken
heart, and have six pairs off hands." The Angel was astounded at the
requirements for this one. "Six pairs of hands! No Way! And that's just on the
standard model?" the Angel asked.
The
Angel tried to stop the Lord. "This is too much work for one day. Wait until
tomorrow to finish."
But I can'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 HR 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 reached out and touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it
looks like you have a leak with this model. I told you that you were trying to
put too much into this one."
"That's not a
leak," the Lord objected, "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 loneliness, her grief, and her pride."
The Angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything,
for women are truly amazing. Women have strengths that amaze men. They carry
hardships, 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 for 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 new
marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow 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 sizes, in
all colours and shapes. 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
spin! They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give
moral support to their family and friends. Women have a lot to say and a
lot to give.
