There are only two lasting bequests
we can hope to give our children:
one of these are roots,
the other wings.

Heaven's Special Needs 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 show
and he will require extra care
from 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 privilege given
in caring for this gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek, so mild
is Heaven's very special child."
