There was this little 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, 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 by her, but no one would stop.

The next day I decided to go back to the park in curiosity to see if the

spot where she was yesterday, and still with the same sad Look in her eyes.

Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little 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 Little girl's dress.

It was grotesquely shaped. I figured that was the reason people just

passed by and made no effort to speak to her. Deformities Are a low

blow to our society and, heaven forbid if you make a step toward

Assisting someone who is different.

As I got closer, the little girl lowered her eyes slightly to avoid my

intent stare. As I approached her, I could see the shape of her back

more clearly. She 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 until darkness fell and the park was completely empty.

I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me

with a sad face said, "Because, I'm different."

I immediately said, "That you are!," and smiled.

The little girl acted even sadder and said, "I know."

"Little girl," I said, "you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent."

She looked at me and smiled, then slowly she got to her feet and

said, Really?"

"Yes, you're like a little Guardian Angel sent to watch over all

People walking by."

She nodded her head yes, and smiled. With that she opened the back of

her pink dress and allowed her wings to spread. Then, with a twinkle

in her eye, she said "I am your Guardian Angel.

I was speechless -- surely 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, why did no one stop to help an angel?"

She looked at me, smiled, and said, "You're the only one that could

See me," and then was gone in an instant.

With that, my life changed dramatically. So, when you think you're
