the gift
[Teacher:] I'm glad you could meet me I'm here about your son I've never seen a mind like his Especially so young He's got a gift for numbers Never known before An outstanding genius Who shouldn't be ignored [Father:] You must be mistaken He's useless and he's weak I see no sign of genius The boy can hardly speak He just sits there, lifeless For hours at a time No expression on his face His eyes staring into space! [Teacher:] How can you be so heartless There must be so much more that we can do [Father:] Who are you to judge me, You don't even know what we've been through! [Teacher:] Just give him more attention You'll see there's more to him than meets the eye [Father:] Fine! I'll try to help the child Better not be wasting my time!
