There was this lil' girl one day sitting in the park. Everyone passed 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 never did one person stop. Just so happens the next day I decided to go back to the park, in curiousity, 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 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' girls dress was obscenely shaped. I figured that was a reason 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 got 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 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 'til 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 stood to her feet, and said. "Really?" "Yes ma'am, your 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...surely 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 that could see me, you believe, its 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...

From the Heart of Angel

Ask yourself how important the outside appearance of a person really is to you. Do you turn away from them if they don't meet your qualifications? We see in this story that only one person was able to see this Angel because this person still believed. How many Angels are around us and we just don't see them for who they really are. Are you unable to see them because you have stopped believing, or have failed to have hope in your life or to dream a little dream? That Angel could be your next door neighbor, or any person that crosses your path in a day. Open up your heart and let the light shine in and Love will pour out.
