"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 show
and he'll require extra care
from the folks he meets 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 privelege given
in caring for this gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek, so mild
is Heaven's very special child."
