I read this a long time ago (around the time I read "Holland" for the first time) but it always makes me smile when I see it on my friend Amy's blog. Jake and I really feel so blessed to have been chosen by the Lord to raise Abby AND Micah. With every passing day with my kids I realize the depth and truth in this little poem... I love it and thought I'd share...
A Special Child
by Sharon Harris
You weren't like other children,
And God was well aware,
You'd need a caring family,
With love enough to share.
And so He sent you to us,
And much to our surprise,
You haven't been a challenge,
But a blessing in disguise.
Your winning smiles and laughter,
The pleasures you impart,
Far outweigh your special needs,
And melt the coldest heart.
We're proud that we've been chosen,
To help you learn and grow,
The job that you have brought us,
Is more than you can know.
A precious gift from Heaven,
A treasure from above,
A child who's taught us many things,
But most of all-
"Real Love”
Sweet and precious words...thank you for sharing them
ReplyDeleteYou guys are an inspiration to so many, especially those two full of love children! I'll never forget meeting Micah for the first time and his running toward me for unabashed hugs. They're beautiful.
