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 might seem very slow,
accomplishments he may not show,
and he'll require extra care
from folks he meets way 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 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 caring for this gift from heaven.
Their precious child so meek and mild
is Heaven's Very Special Child.

 My Guestbook

Please tell me you love me, for I need to be accepted in your eyes.

Please let me know when I have done well, for I need to know that sometimes I am like other children.

Please share some of your thoughts with me, for my intelligence is not impaired.

Please learn all you can about my problem. I need understanding as well as discipline.

Please bother to correct me and keep me in line as much as necessary. I cannot steer myself.

Give me your patience, because, although it takes me longer, I need to succeed just like all the other children.

Please make time in your day for me. I need to feel that attention and affection are things you want to give. I will not go away if you pretend I am not there.

Remember that I am a complex person with many traits that are right and fine. Please help me to see those things in myself. You are my mirror.

Please do not abuse me; for, although I need a firmer hand than most, I feel lost and alone when I see rejection in your eyes. I have no motive, and all I can do is say, "I am sorry" over and over again.

Please remember that I love you, for you stand beside me day after day in this confusing and frightening world. You are the reason I am not alone.
