sixteen and still a child herself yet, she took the news surprisingly well at least outwardly Pregnant! God! What will I do? My Father will kill me! What will I do?! on her own after her Father's bitter rage ragged eyes salt-worn from nights of endless tears night would find her lying in a dark corner somewhere cradling her unborn child and fearing for it's future but even still she'd whisper lullabies to her precious, precious child "I love you so!" she'd say. for this child was the first thing that had ever really belonged to her one night as the late fall snows slipped down from heaven God sent an Angel to a lonely heart that night ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ she saw the ragged obviously pregnant young girl counting dimes and nickels at the checkout counter curious, the elderly lady stepped closer and watched the girl as she shivered and re-counted her change the girl was so tired and hopeless looking but there was something in her manners and in her hesitant smile her clothes were dirty but her hands and face shone clean and smooth blue eyes shocking in her care worn face light blonde hair falling over her eyes as she carelessly brushed it away clutching her apple and a small pack of crackers the girl turned to leave the store but was stopped by a gentle hand heart racing, she turned and looked straight into the kindest eyes she had ever seen the woman offered the girl a hot meal and a place for the night (we accidentally cooked extra, and the snow looks like it's not stopping tonight!) shy and afraid the girl hesitated but something in the woman's smile drew her in and eased her heart settled down in the backseat of the old Rolls with a gentlemanly driver at the wheel the girl felt as if she has stepped in on someone else's dream as they reached the genteel older home the girl's hand cupped over her belly impulsively protecting her unborn child but inside the reception was warm and dinner, hot and waiting ravenous she ate more in that one meal than she had in the last few weeks! after a long soak in a scented tub the girl, clean and dry and warm for the first time in months, was near tears with gratitude and disbelief as she knelt near her bed in that beautiful room and whispered a prayer to God "Thank You for sending an Angel to me ~Amen." in her cozy room with a faded picture in her hand and tears in her eyes the elderly lady eased herself to the floor and knelt near her bed she too whispered a prayer that night "Thank You for sending an Angel to me ~Amen." "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare |

This is lovely...so touching. A beautiful tale of an angel told in beautiful words. Both of the ladies in that poem are angels. Love and hugs, Lizzie |

I will add my personal Amen here. This was so special - God sent me an Angel in the form of my son, I can totally relate to this. Great poem, Angel. Michael |

Very, very touching. MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |
