"Heaven's Very Special Child."(poem)

mok

"Heaven's Very Special Child."

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."

His progress may seem so 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, 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 let's 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 realise 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 will know the privilege given

In caring for this gift from heaven.

This precious charge ,so meek and mild

Is heaven's very Special Child.

thx for your comments.here's one more poem for u.

"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

I spent lots of time and efforts and money to prepare for the trip to Disneyland, just hoped that my special kids would have a good day. But I was so depressed when they had tantrum after we spent whole day in the Disneyland.

These two poems remind me to think again their needs.

sjmama,

I thought my son has progressed so much, but it proved me wrong when  I took him to a party with lots of other kids the other day, it was a complete disaster, he complained, disrupted other kids' game, and provoked fights all the time, he yelled and cried half of the time.

I read this poem and felt a lot better too.

P.S. I was disappointed when I knew I could not join your X'mas gathering because of some prior engagements, I know I could relax in your party because every moms there understand our special kids so well, no explanations needed! Anyway, hope you all have a great time!

ｓjmama　 我也有同樣的經歴。這些經歴日後會變成很好的回憶。祝你與家人新年更快樂！    

”Footprints  In  The  Sand”

One night a man
had a dream.
He dreamt he was
walking with the Lord.
Across the sky
flashed scenes of his life.
For each scene,
he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand;
one belonged to him,
and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of
his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the
footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times
along the path of his life there
was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it had
happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered the man and
he questioned the Lord about it.

"Lord, you said that once  I decided
to follow you, you'd walk with me all
the way. But  I have noticed that during
the most troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when  I needed
you most, you would leave me."

The Lord replied,
"My precious child,  I love you
and  I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that..... I carried you."
