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 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 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 for young children to
play alone.


As I got closer I could see the back of the lil' girl's
dress was obscenely shaped and I figured that was
the reason 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 change dramatically.  So,
when you think you're all you have, remember, Your angel is always watching over you.
