Every once in a while a forwarded email touches our hearts. The one I am about to share with you today has definitely touched mine and many others. It was forwarded to me over four years ago. I have not had the heart to delete it from my in-box all this time. It sure survived the various storms, viruses and computer mishaps that my system has undergone these past few years. Even though it is written for a daughter's birth, it can sure reflects a son's just the same.
With this in mind, I present it to all you special moms, dads and kids out there.. Enjoy it…
Heaven's Special Child
A meeting was held quite far from earth.
"It's time again for a special birth,"
Said the Angels to the Lord above.
"This special child will need much love.
her progress may seem very slow,
Accomplishments she may not show,
And she'll require extra care,
From the folks she meets way down there.
She may not run or laugh or play;
Her thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways, she won't adapt,
And she may be termed as handicapped.
So let's be careful where she's sent,
We want her life to be content.
Please, Lord find 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 meak and mild
Is HEAVEN"S very special child.
