> > > Dressed in a worn pink

> > >
> > > She never tried to speak.

> > > She never said a word.

> > > Many people passed by her,

> > > The next day I decided to go

> > >
> > > Yes, she was there, right in

> > >
> > > Today I was to make my own

> > >
> > > For as we all know, a park

> > >
> > > She was grotesquely shaped
> > > in a humped over form
> > >
> > > I smiled to let her know it

> > > I sat down beside her and

> > >
> > > The little girl acted

> > >
> > > I smiled and she shyly
> > > smiled back.
> > >
> > > We talked until darkness

> > > 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

> > > innocent."
> > >
> > > She looked at me and smiled,

> > > 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

> > >
> > > "I'm your Guardian Angel,"

> > > She said, "For once you

> > >
> > > I got to my feet and said,

> > > She looked at me, smiled,
