HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD

A meeting was held, quite far from earth

"It's time again for another birth"

Said the Angels to the Lord above,

"This special child will need much love"

Her progress may seem very slow,

Accomplishments she may not show

And she'll require extra care

From all the folks she meets down there.

She may not run or laugh or play

Her thoughts may seem quite far away

In many ways she won't adapt,

And she'll be known as handicapped.

So let's be careful where she's sent

We want her life to be content

Please, Lord, find the right parents who

Will do this special job for You.

They will not realize right away

The leading role they're 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 this gift from Heaven.

Their precious charge, so meek and mild

Is heaven's very special child.
