God's Special Child

I'm sending you a special child
to cherish in my name
For you to love with all your heart
And teach him just the same
For he is not like other babies, nor will ever be
But you can love him just the same
And take care of him for me
He may not hear, see or run, or learn as others do
But he'll be yours
And he will take all his guidance from you
The road is hard
He'll break your heart. you'll cry a million tears
But i promise when he smiles at you
The pain will disappear
I know you will cry "why him, why us"
But i needed teachers true
And that is why with care and trust
I've selected you
So please don't turn back on him
Although he may be slow
If you accept him as he is
Then together you will grow
He needs to learn the skills of life
For that i've choosen you
And with your love to guide him
I know you will see him through
Don't try to see the future
I promise that to no one
Just live each day for all its worth
And enjoy my special one
