As most of you know, my son is severely disabled. This is a beautiful poem I would like to share with everyone. My mom made this into a picture frame for me and everytime I get overwhelmed I read this .
HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD
A meeting was held quite far from earth
it was time again for another birth
Said the Angel's 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 down there
He may not laugh, or run, or play
His thoughts may seem quite far away
so many times he'll be labeled
'different', 'helpless', and 'disabled'
so let's be careful where he's sent
We want his life to be content
Please, Lord, find the parents who
Will do this special job for you
They will not realize right away
The leading role they are 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 their gift from Heaven
Their precious charge so meek and mild
