Mothers are made to be special

Their shoulders are strong enough to carry the weight of the world,

yet gentle enough to give comfort..

They are gifted with an inner strength to endure childbirth and

the rejection that many times come from their children..

They are given the hardiness that allows them to keep going

when everyone else gives up and to take care of their families

through sickness and fatigue without complaining..

They are given the sensitivity to love their children under all circumstances,

even when their child has hurt them very badly.
This same sensitivity helps them to make a child's boo-boo feel better and

helps them share a teenager's anxieties and fears..

They are given a tear to shed.
It's theirs exclusively to use whenever it's needed.
It's their only weakness.
It's a tear for mankind.
