| 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 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. ~~~~ Share the Blessing of Heavenly Love! |
