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 will require extra care,
From the folk he meets down there.
He may not run, or laugh, or play,
His thoughts may seem quite far away,
In many ways he won’t adapt,
And he’ll soon be known as handicapped.

So let us be careful where he is 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 privilege given,
In catering for this gift from Heaven,
Their precious charge, so meek and mild,
It’s Heaven’s very special child.
