While at mums last night, I found this poem amongst lots of old photos and memorabilia. It was sent to me by Beverly Searle at Unique Rare chromosome Disorder Support Group - shortly after Brandon was born. I read it to my sister - and found it difficult to hold back the tears - as I had done the first time I read it, 18 years ago. This one is for Brandon xxx Heavens Very Special Child 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 hell require extra care From folks he meets, way down there He may not run, laugh, or play His thoughts may seem quite far away In many ways he wont adapt And hell be known as handicapped So lets be careful where hes 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 theyre asked to play So with this child sent from above Comes stronger faith and richer love And soon theyll know the privilege given In caring for this gift from Heaven This special child so meek and mild Is Heavens Very Special Child.
