An Angel Knocking
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 is crippled and in another country since over three years ago. Is the picture on the wall of the little girl you know?"
~~~~
The doctors 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.
