90 Every Woman is Beautiful.

A little boy asked god，god,why do woman cry so easily? god said when I made woman ,she had to be special. I made her shoulder strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet, gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when anyone else gives up and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue¹ without complaining.I gave her the sensitivity² to love her children under any in all circumstances .Even when her child has hurt her very badly, I gave her strenghth to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from her rip³ to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strength and her resolve to stand beside him unforcingly. And finally I gave her a tear to shade.This is hers, exclusively to use whenever it is needed. You see the beauty of woman is not in the clothes she wears,the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of the woman must be seen in her eyes. Because that is the doorway⁴ to her heart,the place where love resides⁵. Every woman is beautiful.
