The Poetry, Prose and Quotes of JMS and Other Writers

Heaven's Very Special Child
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 know,
And he'll need extra care from the folks he meets down there.
He may be slow to run and 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 from the gift from heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild.
Is Heaven's very special Child.
Amen.
