The Woman

The Woman

When a man was sitting beside an ailing woman after working late one day

A little boy came by and said: “Why spend so much time beside her ?”

And the man answered:
“Son, Have you seen all she is capable of ?"

“She functions on all kinds of food, she is able to embrace several kids at the same time, gives a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she does all this with only two hands”.

The little boy was impressed.

“Just two hands....impossible!“

And this is a normal woman?!

“Too much work for one day.... “.

“Indeed”, said the man. “That is why she is my favorite”.

“She cures herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day”.

The little boy came nearer and touched the woman.

“But she is so soft”

“She is soft", said the man, “But she is also so strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.“

“Can she think?" the little boy asked.

The man answered:

“Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."

The little boy touched the woman’s cheek....

“It seems she is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.”

“She is not leaking....it’s a tear” the man corrected the little man.

“What’s it for?" asked the little boy.

And the man said:

“Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”

This made a big impression on the little boy; “Hey, you are lucky.
You know everything. The woman is indeed marvelous!"

Indeed she is!

Woman has strengths that amazes man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.

She holds happiness, love and opinions.

She smiles when feeling like screaming.

She sings when she feels like crying, cry's when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.

She fights for what she believes in.

Stand up against injustice.

She doesn’t take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution. She gives herself so her family can thrive. She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.

Her love is unconditional.

She cries when her kids are victorious. She is happy when her friends do well.

She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.

Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies.

But she finds the strength to get on with life.

She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.

There is only one thing wrong with her

She forgets what she is worth...
