Can't remember if I've posted this already. If I have, it is worth sharing again....
A meeting was held quite far from Earth.
It was time again for another birth.
Said the Angels to the Lord above-
"This special child will need much love.
"Her progress may be very slow,
"Accomplishment she may not show.
"And she'll require extra care
"From the folks she meets down there.
"She may not run or laugh or play,
"Her thoughts may seem quite far away.
"So many times she will be labeled
"'different,' 'helpless,' and disabled.
"So, let's be careful where she's sent.
"We want her 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 are 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 their gift fro heaven.
"Their precious charge, so meek and mild
"Is heaven's very special child."

Teri,
This poem is so precious. I can't stop crying. Thank you so much for posting it. It means so much to me, and It's a reminder of how much Heavenly Father loves our special children and how blessed we are to be entrusted to care for them. Would you mind if I posted it on my blog?Thank you!
Wow that is a wonderful poem. You are a very special mom to be trusted with such a wonderful boy. You do such a great job!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I have always known that there was no one else but you and Earl as Brayden's parents. You guys truly are amazing! I would have botched the whole thing. I really look forward to the day when I can shake Brayden's hand and tell himhow lucky I have felt to be one of his friends.
