An
angel was sent down from heaven one day
to visit a child who had nothing to
say;
Now this young child was poor, great wealth she did lack,
but she
always was happy in spite of the fact. Until
one day it happened —
her best friend went away
and it left her heartbroken with nothing to say.
Now
the task of the angel was a great one indeed,
to give hope to a heart that
was so much in need.
And though great riches and power were at the angel's
command,
he sent a lost kitten and the healing began.
The
girl cheered the kitten as it tracked down a snail,
and she started to giggle
when he chased his own tail.
Then
without any warning the girl whose heart broke
found some reason for saying
these words that she spoke —
"I love you little kitten ... I hope you will stay!
We will always be
friends and together we’ll play."
Now
the little girl was happy though she still remained poor,
for she had a new
friend someone to care for.
You
see riches and power are fine things indeed
but for a broken heart that is
not what you need.
The
angel was wise for he knew in the end
how to mend a broken heart with the
touch of a friend.
