"I'm Your Guardian Angel"




There was this lil' girl one day sitting in the park.
Everyone passed yet 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
never did one person stop.

Just so happens the next day
I decided to go back to the park, in curiosity, to see
if the lil' girl would still be there.

Right in the very spot
as she was yesterday she sat perched on high,
with the saddest look in her eyes.

Today I would make my own
move and walk over to
the lil' girl.
For as we all know
a park full of strange people
is not the place
for young children to play alone.

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

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

As I go closer the lil' 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.
Grotesquely shaped
in a humped over form.

I smiled to let her know
it was okay,
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.

Everyone was gone
and we at once were alone.
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, ma'am,
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'm your guardian angel,"
with a twinkle in her eye.

I was speechless...
surely I was seeing things.

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

I jumped 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,
You believe,
it's in your heart."
And she was gone.

And with that my life
was changed dramatically.



Thank you,

Jesus Warns against Looking Down on Others.
NIV


Matthew 18:10
"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones."
For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.



Standing Watch...

We have one Angel
standing watch
above us as we sleep...
Another gathers up the hopes
and dreams we wish to keep...
One Angel is the tiny voice
that whispers in our ears...
With words of love
and comfort
to conquer grief and fears...
Of course we have one Guardian,
one friendship keeper too...
Another just to help us mend
the thoughtless things we do...
We have a Guardian of love
who protects our Destiny...
And helps us with our soulmate
who with we were
meant to be...
We have a host of Angels
that keep us company...
In order that we become
the best that we can be...
