<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Daily Journey has been inspiring readers with an on-line presence since 2001. It started in 1996 when the author had a special visit at Disneyland with a dear friend and her son, Michael. Michael's mom displayed such love and kindness as she devoted herself to providing the best in face of his challenge with autism. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He was different than the others.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He needed special care, so God sent him special parents </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">to watch while he was there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">They loved him more than life itself, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">but sometimes wondered why,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He is a gift, you see, from up above.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Sent from Heaven just to share your love.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">You have the kind of spirit that he needs, you see</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Now this child God has sent to you </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">because you are special too.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Not just anyone could raise this child</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> the way God would want them to.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He's counting on you to do the best that you can do.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">God will help you all along the way. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He will never leave your side.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He is watching you and smiling in heaven up on high.</span></div>
