Heavens special child

Heaven's Very Special Child

A meeting was held quite far from the 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 will meet 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 will be known as handicapped."

"So let's be careful where he is sent
We want his life to be content
Please Lord, find the partents 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 and mild,
Is Heaven's very special child."

Walk Beside Me ~ Hold My Hand



Oh, please don't walk in front of me.
It's hard to follow all you do.
I need some guidance constantly,
And depend... alot on you.

Perhaps my progress may be slow.
Perhaps I'll need some extra care.
With faith, I'm sure you'll get to know.
There are blessings we can share.

And, please don't walk in back of me.
Don't push me quickly on my way.
I need your patience, and I plea
That you'll teach me what to say

I may be known as handicapped.
Some folks may say I'm just "not right"
And though I often don't adapt,
Angels keep me in their sight.

So, please except me... this I ask,
Although I'm different than the rest.
The Lord has given me a task,
And with childlike faith... I'm blest.

Such peace of mind can stir much love
Somehow my innocence was planned
I'm on a mission from above
WALK BESIDE ME ~ HOLD MY HAND
