Right in the very 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. As we all
know a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to
play alone. As I began walking towards her I could see the back of the
little girl's dress indicated a deformity. I figured that was the
reason the people just passed by and made no effort to help. As I got
closer, the little girl slightly lowered her eyes to avoid my intent
stare. I could see the 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 'til darkness fell and the park was
completely empty. Everyone was gone and we at once was 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, your like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by."
She nodded her head yes and smiled, and 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." 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 who could see me, and you believe it in 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.
God Loves You!!!
