Not The Same

The Doctor
"He's not like other kids. He's not the same."
The mother watches me with patient eyes.
I mumble useless phrases-- "It's a shame...
There are support groups... and I sympathize..."

The Child
listen
i listen
but no-one hears
what i hear

The Mother
The doctor does his best. He's got compassion.
But I'll need more than that, to bear this news.
Eywallah: God gave me a son, unique:
He's not like other kids. He's not the same.
