Angel Knocking at the Door

There came a frantic knock At the doctor's office door,

A knock, more urgent than he had ever heard before.

~~~~
"Come in, Come in," the impatient doctor said,
"Come in, Come in, before you wake the dead."
~~

In walked a frightened little girl, a child no more than nine,
It was plain for all to see, she had troubles on her mind.
~~~

"Oh doctor, I beg you, please come with me,
My mother is surely dying, she's as sick as she can be."
~~~~

"I don't make house calls, bring your mother here,"
"But she's too sick, so you must come or she will die I fear."
~~~~

The doctor, touched by her devotion, decided he would go,
She said he would be blessed, more than he could know.
~~~~

She led him to her house where her mother lay in bed,
Her mother was so very sick she couldn't raise her head.
~~~~

But her eyes cried out for help and help her the doctor did,
She would have died that very night had it not been for her kid.
~~~~

The doctor got her fever down and she lived through the night,
And morning brought the doctor signs, that she would be all right.
~~~~

The doctor said he had to leave but would return again by two,
And later he came back to check, just like he said he'd do.
~~~~

The mother praised the doctor for all the things he'd done,
He told her she would have died, were it not for her little one.
~~~~

"How proud you must be of your wonderful little girl,
It was her pleading that made me come, she is really quite a pearl!
~~~~

"But doctor, my daughter died over three years ago,
Is the picture on the wall of the little girl you know?"
~~~~

The doctor's legs went limp for the picture on the wall,
Was the same little girl for whom he'd made this call.
~~~~

The doctor stood motionless, for quite a little while,
And then his solemn face, was broken by his smile.
~~~~


He was thinking of that frantic knock heard at his office door,
And of the beautiful little angel that had walked across his floor.
~~~~

Share the Blessing of Heavenly Love!

I KNOW there are Angels among us.......
