(this was sent to me by a friend.)
By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
âWhy are you spending so much time on this one?â
And the Lord answered,
âHave 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.â
The angel was astounded at the requirements.
âOnly two hands!? No way!
And thatâs just on the standard model?
Thatâs too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish.â
âBut I wonât,â the Lord protested.
âI 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.â
The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
âBut you have made her so soft, Lord.â
âShe is soft,â the Lord agreed,
âbut I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.â
âWill she be able to think?â, asked the angel.
The Lord replied, âNot only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate.â
The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the womanâs cheek.
âOops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.â
âThatâs not a leak,â the Lord corrected,
âthatâs a tear!â
âWhatâs the tear for?â the angel asked.
The Lord said, âThe tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride.â
The angel was impressed. âYou are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing.â
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 donât take ânoâ 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.
Theyâll 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.
That’s so beautiful, I’m going to email it to the gals at work. Thank you for sharing it.
