"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, 

Accomplishment she may not show  

And he'll require extra care

From folks he meets way down there.

He may not run or laugh or play

His thoughts may seem quite far away:

In many ways he isn't adept

And he'll be known as handicapped.

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 a stronger faith and richer love.

And soon they'll know the privilege given 

In caring for the Gift from Heaven.

Their precious charge,

so meek and mild

Is Heaven's Very Special Child.
