Heaven's very special child

HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD

A meeting was held quite far away from earth

It's 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

And he'll require extra care

From the folks he meets down there

He may not talk or laugh 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 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're asked to play

But with this child sent from above

Comes stronger faith and richer love

And soon they'll know the privelege given

In caring for this gift from Heaven

Their precious charge so meek and mild

Is Heaven's Very Special Child
