* They can 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.

* They fight for what they believe in. They stand up for injustice. They are in the front row at PTA meetings.

* They stick a love note in their husband's lunch box. (If not; start doing it) 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.

* They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have 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. 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 (and most men's hearts spin as well)
