The Pink Dress

back to main page

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, barfoot 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 nowon would stop. The next day I decided to go back to the park incuriosity to see if the girl would still be there. Yes, she was there, right in the very 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 childern to play alone. As I got closer I could see the back of the little girls dress was grotesquely shaped. I figured that was why people just passed by and made no effort to speak to her. As I got closer, the little girl lowered her eyes slightly to avoid my intent stare. As I apporached 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 girl acted shocked and, stammered a "Hi"; after a long stare into my eyes... I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked untill darkness fell and the park was completely empty. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl said," Because, I'm different." I immeditately 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 innocet." 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 all those people passing by."She nodded her head yes, and smiled. With that she opened the back of her pink dress and allowed her most beautiful wings to speard, then she 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, why did nowon stop to help an Angel?" She looked at me, smiled, and said," Your the only one that could see me." and with that she was gone. And with that my life changed dramatically. So when you think your all you have, remember your Guardian Angel is always watch you. ;-)
