Women have strengths that
amaze men. They carry children, 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.
Women wait by the phone for a "safe
at home call" from a
friend after a snowy drive
home. Woman friends keep secrets
you told them years ago and
never bring it up again.
Women have special qualities about
them. They volunteer
for good causes. They are
pink ladies in hospitals, they
bring food to shut ins. They are childcare workers, executives, attorneys,
stay-at-home moms, biker babes and
your neighbors. They wear
suits, they wear jeans, they wear
uniforms. They fight for
what they believe in. They stand
up against injustice.
They can wipe a tear, cover a cut
and pat you on the back at
the same time. They eat
little so their family can have more.
They rush to school to pick up a sick child. They stick a love
note in their husband's
lunch box. They do without new shoes so
that their children can have
them. They go to scout meetings and are chaperones on class
trips.
They go to the doctor with a
frightened friend. They don't make
excuses for defending their
family or friends. They give a friend
some money in times of
trouble. They love unconditionally. They
are loyal, honest and
forgiving. They are smart, knowing that
knowledge is power. But they
still know how to use their softer
side to make a point. Their
world consists of goodness, love and
caring.
Women want to be the best for their
family, their friends and
themselves. They cry when
their children excel and cheer when
their friends get awards.
They get teary eyed when others do great
things. They save their
anger for the unjust and the insincere.
They tell people that need
to be told to straighten up their act.
They lend a shoulder to cry
on, an ear to listen and a voice to
make suggestions.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a new marriage.
Their hearts break when a
friend dies. They have so much sorrow
at the loss of a family
member, yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength
left. They can control situations
that seem uncontrollable.
They can round up energy when they
are tired. They can stay up
a little longer to talk to someone
that needs a friend. They
will rush to be by your side when you
are lonely. They will give
up their favorite TV show to help
with homework or read a
bedtime story.
A woman's touch can cure any
ailment. They know that a hug and
kiss can heal a broken
heart. She can make a romantic evening
unforgettable. She can bring
out the best in her husband,
children and friends. They
don't mind standing in the shadows.
They are not there to push,
but to gently encourage. They are
cheerleaders, teachers,
lovers and important in many people's
daily lives. They can
whisper a kind word, scream a loud cheer
and laugh away a fear. They
can mend your broken spirit and give
you back your self esteem.
They can knit a family back together
after a break or a loss.
Women come in all sizes, in all
colors and shapes. They live in
homes, apartments, cabins
and trailers. They drive, fly, walk,
run or e-mail you to show
how much they care about you.They
have hearts that forgive and
forget an injustice. They have
hearts that remember a
kindness. They have hearts that beat
with loyalty and love. The
heart of a woman is what makes the
world spin. They can cry and
laugh at the same time. They can be sad and hopeful at the
same time.
Women do more than just give
birth. They bring joy and hope.
They teach us to dream and
make goals. They give compassion and
ideals. They climb into a
person's life and make everything better
again. They give moral
support to their family and friends. And
all they want back is a hug,
a smile and for you to do the same to
people you come in contact
with.
Women are leaders, but don't want
followers. They want people to
grow into the best person
they can be. They want to touch you in
a way that will make you
share your goodness with others. One
touch can turn a bad day
into a better one. One extra minute of
her time will make a child
feel special. One more kiss will make
her husband feel loved.
Women have a lot to
say and a lot to give.
I
have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no
hurt, but only more love --Mother Teresa
