His Little Angel
I know of a wonderful story and I'll tell you if I may,
About a divine meeting upon one special day.
A man all donned in Red and White with a beard as white as snow.
His eyes all filled with loving light and his soul, how it did glow.
Upon a bike, with Bag in tow, he rode to a special place.
He parked his Bike, then grabbed his bag, with a smile upon his face.
The first he saw was a little angel that came running up with pride.
She grabbed his hand with her small one and lead him straight inside.
"Hi, I'm Collette, she announced with joy, Please come with me", she said.
"I want for you to meet all of my friends," continuing as she lead.
He gladly followed, this little one with his heart all filled with awe,
For he was taken a back by her, this little angel that he saw.
She introduced him to all of her friends, even to those she did not know.
This man all donned in Red and White with a beard as white as snow,
She had never met this man before, only had heard of him in lore.
She knew of all he did for children, for him she did adore.
For you see he was a kind, kind soul, who brightens up the year.
And for all our children sick and well he brings them lots of cheer.
This Man he was amazed at her, for a light she brought to many.
He didn't know she felt ill that day, for complaining she didn't any.
She helped him with his gifts of love, each one she passed away.
And smile she did while giving them on this special day.
She also received a gift from him, but the most precious gift of all.
Was to be the one to help SANTA out, such a big thing for one so small.
You see this little Angel had a cancer inside her little head,
And not so very long ago, she passed away they said.
But though This Kind, Kind Gentleman was saddened by all of this.
He was given such a greater gift, by this little angel that he now missed.
She taught him that no matter what, the hardships we go through.
If one so small can be so brave, then we can do it too.
And now when this man Speaks of his Angel, this Real one that he knows.
She gently sits upon his shoulder and guides him where he goes!

When an angel gently sits upon his shoulder and guides him where he goes, goodness abounds. Thank you for reminding us of love's possibilities only a connection away.
