God's Secret Plan
Sometimes God's messages
Are hard to understand
But we all must remember
He has a secret plan.
Those of us who are lucky
And have no regrets
Must realize others challenges
Which are very hard to forget.
One of God's messages
Is found in a boy
Who I met quite recently
And truly enjoy.
He rides my bus
And smiles every day
And makes me feel joy
In a very special way.
When he asked me to join him
At a baseball game
I realized this friendship
Was not quite the same.
I knew I had found
A very special friend
One that would last
Until the bitter end.
He's like a ray of sunshine
Every single day
And I'm writing this poem
Because these words are hard to say.
Thank you Geoffrey
For being so rare
And know you're in my heart
When I go "everywhere"
The devotion he gets
From his dad and his mom
Reassure me he'll be loved
In the years to come.
For they understand
God's secret plan
And we can all learn together
If we go hand in hand

"FROM MY HEART TO YOURS"
MaryJane
It's funny I've been working with special kids for over twenty years now and just when I think I can learn no more, well I learn somemore!
Life sure isn't always what it seems. What comes to your mind when you think of special Ed. or special needs, or handicapped? well what comes to my mind Is a young man I met this year, a 15 year old with a very big heart, and a smile to go with it.
A few weeks ago I mentioned wanting to do a page about the boy I Pick up and was real happy when mom and my new friend Geoff agreed, You guys made my day!
He did have a question, and it was just like him because he thinks of many others before himself. He asked if Brian could be on the page with him, and at first I thought it was his brother he was talking about.
So I said sure I'll say something about your brother, thats when I realized it was the too other boys I pick up that he was asking about.
Do we tell the people we love that we love them? This Is for Geoffrey, Brian, and Matt...Who together Brighten my most cloudy day, and to all the special kids I've worked with, and still do.
I think we should, So go tell someone you love 'Em!
And Do Keep Smiling! Just like my friends do!
