Lil' Angel



There was this lil' girl sitting by herself in the park
Everyone passed by her 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 would stop.
The next day I decided to go back to the park,
in curiosity, to see if the lil' girl
would still be there.

Yes, she was there,
right in the very spot as she was yesterday,
and still with the sad look in her eyes.

Today I was to make my own
move and walk over to the lil' girl.

For as we all know a park full
of strange people is not a place
or young children to play alone.

As I got closer I could see the back
of the lil' girl's dress was obscenely shaped.
I figured that was a reason the people
just passed by and made no effort to help.

Deformities are a low blow to our society and so
help you if you make a step toward assisting
someone who is different.

As I got closer the lil' girl lowered her eyes
slightly to avoid my intent stare.

As I approached her, I could see the obscene shape
of her back more clearly.

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 lil' 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.

I asked the girl why she was so sad.

The lil' girl looked at me and with a sad face
said, "Because I'm different."

I immediately said, "That you are!"
and smiled.

The lil' girl acted even sadder, she said, "I know."

"Lil' girl", I said, "you remind me of an angel,
sweet and innocent."

She looked at me and smiled.

Slowly she got to her feet, and said, "Really?"

"Yes, you're like a Lil' 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 said,
"I am, I'm your Guardian Angel",
with a twinkle in her eye.

I was speechless, sure I was seeing things.

She said, "For once you thought of someone
other than yourself, my job here is done."

I got 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"
and then 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.

Pass this to everyone that means anything at all to you
to let them know you're glad they care about you..
like the story says we all need someone.
