HEAVEN'S SPECIAL CHILD

HEAVEN'S SPECIAL CHILD
Author presently unknown

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 be very slow,
Accomplishments 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.
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 good friends who, will
Do a special job for you.

They will not realize it 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 will know the privileges given,
In caring for their gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild, in
Heaven’s very special child.
