Women, a Pat on the Back

Women

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.
Women have special qualities about them.
They volunteer for good causes.

They are pink ladies in hospitals, they bring food
to shut ins.
They are childcare workers, executives, attorneys,
stay-at-home moms, biker babes and your neighbors.
They wear suits, jeans, and they wear uniforms.

They fight for what they believe in. They stand up
for injustice.
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 healthcare.

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.

They stick a love note in their husband’s lunch box.
They do without new shoes so their children can have
them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.
Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving.

They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power.
But they still know how to use their softer side to
make a point.
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 are happy when they hear about a birth or a new
marriage.
Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have
deep sorrow at the loss of a
family member, yet they are strong when they think
there is no strength left.

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.

Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They live in homes, apartments and cabins.
They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how
much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!

Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
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 those people with whom
you come in contact.

Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

This was sent to you by someone who respects you as
a woman
and who has seen many of your qualities in this
letter.
Why not pass it on to someone you recognize and
know?

Not a chain letter or anything like that, just a pat
on the back
