that was sitting in the park.
Everyone passed
and never stopped to see
why she looked so sad.
Dressed in a worn pink dress. . .
bare foot. . .and dirty,
the girl just sat
and watched the people go by.
She never tried to speak;
she never said a word.
Many people passed,
but no one ever stopped
It just so happens
that the next day,
out of curiosity,
I decided to go back to the park
to see if the little girl
would still be there.
Right in the very same spot
as she was yesterday,
she sat perched on high,
with the saddest look in her eyes.
Today I was to make my own move
and walk over to the little girl.
For as we all know
a park full of strange people
is not a good place
for young children to play alone.
As I got closer I could see
that the back
of the little girl's dress
was obscenely shaped.
I figured that
that was the reason
that people just passed by
and made no effort to help.
Having a deformity
is a low blow in our society
and, "so help you"
if you make a step toward
assisting someone
who is different.
As I was coming closer
the little girl
slightly lowered her eyes
to avoid my intent stare.
As I approached her, I could see
the obscene shape of her back
more clearly.
It was grotesquely shaped
in a humped-over form.
I smiled to let her know it was ok. . .
I was there to help. . .to talk.
I sat down beside her
and opened with a simple,"Hello".
The little girl acted shocked
and stammered a "Hi"
after a long stare into my eyes.
I smiled and
she shyly smiled back.
We talked till darkness fell
and the park was completely empty.
Everyone was gone
and we were alone.
I asked the girl why she was so sad.
The little girl looked at me
and with a sad face said,
"Because I'm different".
I immediately said, "That you are!"
and smiled.
The little girl acted even sadder.
She said, "I know."
"Little girl", I said,
"You remind me of an angel. . .
sweet and innocent."
She looked at me and smiled.
Slowly she stood to her feet
and said, "Really?"
"Yes ma'am,
you're like a little guardian angel
sent to watch over
all those people walking by."
She shook her head yes and smiled.
With that,
she spread her wings and,
with a twinkle in her eye said,
"I am. I'm your guardian angel."
I was speechless...
certain I was seeing things.
She said, "For once you thought
of someone other than yourself.
My job here is done."
Immediately,
I stood to my feet and said,
"Wait! So, why did no one stop
to help an angel?"
She looked at me and smiled,
"You're the only one
that could see me.
Since you believe,
you see with your heart".
And she was gone!
And with that my life
was changed dramatically.
So, when you think
you're all you have,
remember. . .
your angel is always
watching over you.
Mine was......
