The voice he heard

That told him he was special,

Had a different tone,

A different quality 

Than those he heard when he 

Went to school

And was placed in Special Ed.

The voices he heard saying he was different

Were the same ones he heard saying

That he was retarded.

But the voice he heard

In his heart

Was the voice he heeded,

And so he never wasted his time

Trying to convince anyone,

Least of all some schools administrators,

That he was anything like the other children.

But he went on.

In fact, he went on to do great things,

To reveal incredible scientific discoveries,

And to prove how relative labels can be,

And to prove, in fact, a very special relativity.
