A meeting was held quite far from earth
“Its 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 meets way 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 lets 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 and mild
Is heavens very special child.
"SPECIAL ANGEL"
(Down Syndrome Birth)
As beautiful angels wings were
flying over the streets of gold,
the baby angels could only
watch since they weren't very old.
Then one day God stopped to
talk to a little one without wings,
He said, "your day has come.......
just listen to the angels sing".
Confused yet excited the little
one said to the Lord,
"But I'm different from the others
God and not a miracle to behold".
"Oh, but yes you are," He said
with a hug and smile on his face.
"You're the greatest gift I can give
and a loving home you will grace".
You mean, tho I'm different and
will never be beautiful or smart
Someone will want me and give
me a place in their heart?"
"Gee God.....that person must be
special to be glad to have me,
Cause most folks would frown
and upset they would be."
God said, "your little heart was
filled with more love than most.
Cause I knew this family would
love you and hold you real close.
So go my little angel and take
the greatest gift I can bestow.
You're that "special" angel few
people have the honor to know."
