A meeting was held quite far from Earth <br />It was time again for another birth. <br />Said the Angels to the Lord above - <br /> <br />'This special child will need much love. <br />'Her progress may be very slow <br />'Accomplishment she may not show. <br />'And she'll require extra care <br />'From the folks she meets down there. <br />'She may not run or laugh or play <br />'Her thoughts may seem quite far away <br />'So many times she will be labeled <br />'different, helpless and disabled. <br />'So, let's be careful where she's sent. <br />'We want her life to be content. <br />'Please, Lord, find the parents who <br />'Will do a special job for you. <br />'They will not realize right away <br />'The leading role they are asked to play. <br />'But with this child sent from above <br />'Comes stronger faith, and richer love. <br />'And soon they'll know the privilege given <br />'In caring for their gift from heaven. <br />'Their precious charge, so meek and mild <br />'Is heaven's very special child.'<br /><br />aashka thakkar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heaven-s-very-special-child/
