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.

His progress may seem very slow;

accomplishments he may not show;

and he'll require extra care

From all the folks he meets down there.

He may not run or laugh or play;

His thoughts may seem 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 parents who

will do this special job for you.

They will not realize right away

the leading roll they're asked to play.

But with this child from above,

comes stronger faith and richer love.

And soon they'll know the privilege given

in caring for this gift from heaven.

Their precious child so meek and mild

is "Heaven's Very Special Child".
