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
