Heavens child

A meeting was held quite far from earth
It's time again for another birth
Said the angels to the Lord above
This child will need much love

His progress may be very slow
Accomplishments he may not show
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he will meet 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 be known as handicapped
So let's be careful where he's sent
We want her life to be content

Please Lord, find the person who
Will do this special job for you
They may not realize straight away
The learning 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
Their precious child so meek and mild
Is Heaven's very special child.
