A very good friend of mine was reading Dear Abby and thought of ME (and My Special Child) when she read this.
Heaven's 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
His progress may be very slow
Accomplishment he may not show
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets down there
He may not run or laugh or play
His thoughts may seem quite far away
So many times he will be labeled
"different, helpless and disabled"
So, let's be careful where he's sent
We want his 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.
