Heaven's Very Special Child

Apoem I really like:


In Loving Memory Of Curtis L. Hendley
Submitted by Leana M. Hendley

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 very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show;
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets down there.
He may not run or 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 realize it 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'll know the privilege given
In caring for this gift from heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild
Is Heaven's Very Special Child.
We have started to put crunchy food(Comfort puffs) in his gerber cereal. He likes to count them as we crumble them in the cereal and then he likes to stir it up so they are mixed in well. We also are making the cereal thicker for he has better control of putting the food in his mouth. He also has learned to move the bowl under his mouth just in case he drips food down.
