A meeting was held far from earth
'It's time again for another birth'
said the angel 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 the folk he meets way 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 will be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where he's sent
We want his life to be content
Please Lord find the people who
Will be special 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 caring for this gift from heaven
Their precious charge, so meek, so mild
Is 'Heaven's Very Special Child'
