Poem I love

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"Her progress may seem very slow,Accomplishments she may not showAnd she'll require extra careFrom all the folks she meets down there.She may not run or laugh or playHer thoughts may seem quite far awayIn many ways she won't adapt,And she'll be known as handicapped.So let's be careful where she's sentWe want her life to be contentPlease, Lord, find the right parents whoWill do this special job for You.They will not realize right awayThe leading role they're asked to playBut with this child sent from aboveComes stronger faith and richer love.And soon they'll know the privilege givenIn caring for this gift from Heaven.Their precious charge, so meek and mildIs heaven's very special child

I found this sometime ago that I used on a scrapbook page for Owie, I still read it often and it says so much of how I feel. Enjoy!
