Don't let your day go on

The Pink Dress
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
little 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 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 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 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 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.
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...
And, every one of your
friends is an Angel in
their own way.
The value of a friend is
measured in the heart.
I hope your Guardian
Angel watches over you
always.
Pass this message to 7
people. ....or not!
You will receive a miracle
tomorrow.
