The Rainbow Children

This baby is being born with hardly a belly button the angel declared. Yes, this is a special one sent to a family who is kind and understanding It is not every parent who can raise a child like this one thus the button lack. He is on the spectrum? Yes, a rainbow child, someone overly unique. I have never seen another one. How long have you been doing this? Sixteen years. You might not see another one for another sixteen. Truly! These rainbow children are special beyond special. Sent to teach life lessons and patience to parents and teachers. Sent to show peers that people do not all have to think the same things. Showing them that being passionate about one subject is all right. Sometimes even desirable. This one loves trains; it all about trains for him. Will his nursery be in trains? No. His parents have not met him yet. They are doing his room up in dinosaurs. Will he like that too? No He will scream and wail about it. Will they know to change it? Someday as they learn. This is why we send the rainbow children. To teach the world. The angel smiled at the baby, in awe.

Caren, Very special message of a serendipitous future. Reminded me of the nursery rhyme: Monday’s child is fair of face Tuesday’s child is full of grace Wednesday’s child is full of woe Thursday’s child has far to go Friday’s child is loving and giving Saturday’s child works hard for his living And the child that is born on the Sabbath day Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay. -Nursery Rhyme 'Monday’s child'

Thank you Richard; I just want every child to be given the opportunity to educate us; they are each unique and put on earth for a great reason. Every single one of us actually for the inner child is always there.
