The Woman

When God created woman, He was working late on the 6th day. An Angel came by and say, "Why spend so much time on that one?"

And the Lord answered, " Have you seen all the specifications I have meet to shape her? She must be washable but not made out of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replacable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrance several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anytihng from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands."

The Angel was inpressed. "Just two hands...impossible! And this is the standard modal? Too much work for one day...Wait till tomorrow and then complete her."

"I will not," said that Lord. "I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart. She cures herself when she is sick and she can work 18 hours a day."

The Angel came nearer to touched the woman. "But you have made her so soft, Lord" "She is soft," said the Lord, "But I have also made her strong . You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome."

"Can she think?" the Angel asked. The Lord answered, "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."

The Angel touched the woman's cheek..."Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her." "She is not leaking...it's a tear," the Lord corrected the Angel. "What's it for?" asked the Angel. And the Lord said, "Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubt, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."

This made a big impression on the Angel. "Lord you are genius. You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvelious!"

Indeed she is! Woman has the strengths that amazes man. She can handle troubles and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when feeling like screaming, she sings when she feels like crying, cry 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 that 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 strength to get on woth her 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..."
