HOMMAGE

Un petit garçon demande à sa mère :
- Pourquoi pleures-tu ?
- Parce que je suis une femme, lui répond-elle.
- Je ne comprends pas, dit-il.
Sa mère l’étreint et lui dit :
- Et jamais tu ne réussiras.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Plus tard le petit garçon demanda à son père
- Pourquoi maman pleure-t-elle ? Je ne comprends pas !
- Toutes les femmes pleurent sans raison, fut tout ce que son père put lui dire.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Devenu adulte, il demanda à Dieu :
- Seigneur, pourquoi les femmes pleurent-elles aussi facilement ?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Et Dieu répondit : – Quand j’ai fait la femme, elle devait être spéciale :

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               - J’ai fait ses épaules assez fortes pour porter le poids du monde et assez douces pour être confortables.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  - Je lui ai donné la force de donner la vie et celle d’accepter le rejet qui vient souvent des enfants. La force pour lui permettre de continuer quand tout le monde abandonne. La force de prendre soin de sa famille en dépit de la maladie et de la fatigue.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       - Je lui ai donné la sensibilité pour aimer ses enfants d’un amour inconditionnel, même quand ces derniers l’ont blessée durement.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         - Je lui ai donné la force de supporter son mari dans ses défauts et de demeurer à ses côtés sans faiblir.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             - Et finalement je lui ai donné des larmes à verser quand elle en ressent le besoin.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             - Tu vois mon fils, la beauté d’une femme n’est pas dans les vêtements qu’elle porte,
ni dans son visage ou dans la façon de se coiffer les cheveux.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       - La beauté d’une femme réside dans ses yeux. C’est la porte d’entrée de son coeur, la place où l’amour réside et c’est souvent par ses larmes que tu vois passer son coeur.
