A special child God made for you;
May have some trouble life through;
There's no doubt youll love him so
Youll never want to let him go;

That Very Special Child.

There's no doubt;he'll make you cry
But if you love him;dont wonder why
Just think about all those times
Of smiles laughs and nursery rhymes
You spend with That Very Special Child.

Dont compare him to the others
Dont wonder if you were their mother
Just love your child Jace
And let him learn at his own pace,
That Very Special Child.

He sometimes may be difficult;
You may think it was your fault;
But dont feel sorry for him;
This is him and he will always be
That Very Special Child.
