The Little Angel

i sat in the park today and a tear ran down my cheek My lips trembling I could not speak Feeling so lost and alone My heart felt heavy as stone I saw the children in the distance at play All of a sudden a small child came my way The sunlight shimmering in her hair She looked like a little angel standing there Her eyes full of wonder and love She truly was an angel from above She smiled at me so sweet Her gaze my eyes did meet Not speaking a word she handed me a little flower I was overwhelmed by the power Of such a sweet little gift Then she was gone so swift I stared at that flower For almost an hour I looked for that little angel that came my way I didn’t see that child at play Then I realized Right before my eyes An angel really had been sent my way To make me forget my horrible day To show me the beauty of that flower That I stared at for over an hour I looked to the heavens above And thanked God for sharing his love For sending an angel my way To give me a better day So when you’re feeling lost and cold as stone Remember you’re never really alone Angels come to us everyday In so many different ways So when you think you’ve come to the end The good Lord to you an angel will send To remind you of his love As he gives you an angel from above So remember when your having a bad day God will send angels your way

A most poignant write... The beauty of the moment... When a little girl offers a flower.. To a stranger low in spirits and love... You captured the significance, all of it!.. TQ, really a masterfully crafted literary art!...
