HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD

by Edna Massimilla



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.
And he'll require extra care
from the 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 parents who
will do a special job for you.
They will now 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 and mild
is Heaven's very special child."

What a beautiful poem. I do believe that God handpicked every parent for his precious special children.
My mother in law just wrote a song for our family. She was inspired to write it because of JJ. It is called "Do you have an angel to spare?" It is about a child in need of an angel (parent) to give him extra attention and love. There is even a verse where the parent is praying for an angel (child) in need to come to her. It makes me cry.

lorraine,
i have seen either this poem or one similar to it once a few years back, but tonight i read it from a much different perspective and it has a much newer meaning to me now--
thank you for sharing it.

I cleaned out the kids file cabinet for school yesterday and I ran across this very poem given to me by Katie's CD teacher! I have always loved this poem, it's so beautiful!
