Heaven's Very Special Child

A meeting was held far from Earth. It's time for another birth.
Said the Angels to the Lord Above, "This special child will need much love.
His progress may be very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show,
And he will require extra care
From the folks he meets down there.
He may not run or laugh or play.
His thoughts might 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 know 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 their gift from Heaven.
The precious charge so meek and mild is Heaven's very special child.
