Heaven's Very Special Child

A meeting was held quite far from Earth

It was time again for another birth.

Said the Angels to the Lord above--

"This special child will need much love.

Her progress may be very slow

Accomplishment she may not show.

And she'll require extra care

From the folks she meets down there.

She may not run or laugh or play

Her thoughts may seem quite far away

So many times she will be labeled-- "different, helpless, and disabled"

So, let's be careful where she's sent.

We want her life to be content.

Please, Lord find the parents who

Will do a special job for you

They will not realize right away

The Leading role they are asked to play

But with this child sent from above

Comes stronger faith, and richer love.

And soon they'll know the privilege given

In caring for their gift from heaven.

Their precious charge so meek and mild

IS HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD
