HEAVEN’S VERY SPECIAL CHILDREN
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.”
“Their progress may be very slow,
Accomplishments they may not show. And they’ll require extra care
From the folks they meet down there.”
“They may not run or laugh or play,
Their thoughts may seem quite far away. In many ways they won’t adapt,
And they’ll be known as ‘Handicapped’.”
“So let’s be careful where they’re sent. We want their lives 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 special gift from Heaven. Their precious charge, so meek and mild,
Is heaven’s very special child.”
