HEAVENS 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.
FOR 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 WONT 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 THIS SPECIAL JOB FOR YOU.
THEY WILL NOT REALIZE RIGHT AWAY
THE LEADING ROLE THEY'RE ASKED TO PLAY.
BUT WITH THE CHILD 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 CHILD SO MEEK AND MILD,
IS"HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD"
