Angels

Angels

Barefoot 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, curious
if the little 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 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.

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 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, 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 nodded her head yes and smiled, and with
that she spread her wings and said with a twinkle in her eye, "I am."
I was speechless, sure I was seeing things. She said, "And since 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, there is an angel
always watching over you.

Pass this to everyone that means anything at all to you....make sure
you send it back to the person who sent it to you, to let them know you're
glad they care about you...like the story says we all need someone..

Everyone of your friends is an angel in their own
