A talk 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 seem very slow
Accomplishments she may not show
She may not learn, or laugh or play
Her thoughts may seem far away
In many ways she won’t adapt
She will be known as handicapped
So let’s be careful where she’s sent
We want her life to be content
Please, Lord, find parents who
Will do this special job for you
They will not gather 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 privilege given
In caring for this child from Heaven
That special child so meek and mild
Is Heaven’s very special child
