Special Child
A meeting was held, quite far from earth.
“It’s time again for another birth”
Said the angels of the Lord above.
“This special child will need much love”
His progress may seem very slow
Accomplishments, he may not show
And he’ll require much extra care
From all the folks he meets down there
He may not laugh, or run or play
His thoughts may seem quite far away
In many ways he won’t adapt
And he’ll be known as handicapped
So let’s be careful of where he’s sent
We want his life to be content
Please Lord, find the 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 the child from up above
Comes stronger faith and richer love
And soon they’ll know the privilege given
In caring for this gift from heaven.
