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 them up again. Women have special
qualities about them. They volunteer for good causes.
They are pink ladies in hospitals, they take food to
shut-ins. They are child care 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 for
injustice. They are in the front row at PTA meetings.
They vote for the person that will do the best job for
family issues. They walk and talk the extra mile to
get their children in the right schools and for
getting their family the right health care. They write
to the editor, their congressmen and to "the powers
that be" for things that make for a better life. They
don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there
is a better solution.
Women can wipe a tear, cover a cut and give a pat on
the back at the same time. They eat a little so their
family can have more. They rush to school to pick up a
sick child. They stick a love note in their
sweetheart's lunch box.
They do without new shoes so that their children can
have them. They go to scout meetings and chaperone
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 not any 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 who
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 a 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. A
woman doesn'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
peoples 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-up 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
persons 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 beloved feel more loved. Women have a
lot to say and a lot to give.
