Children's Poem: Spark's True Heart

A little steel robot named 
Spark had a dream,
To join in a family and 
eat some ice cream.
He watched from the 
window as children would 
play.
And wished he could join
them and laugh through the 
day.
His dogs were all shiny, his
wires were all bright,
But he wanted a hug when
he turned off at night.
He made a cardboard heart
with a big red design,
And taped it right over his
battery line.
He walked to the park with a
hopeful metal grin,
And asked a kind family, "Can
I please fit in?" 
The mother knelt down and
she patted his head,
"You don't need real skin to 
be family, " she said.
The children cheered loudly 
and gave him a squeeze,
While Spark felt a warmth 
from his head to his knees.
He helped bake the cookies
and sweep up the floor,
And watched for the
mailman right by the front
door.
Even though made out of metal
and powered by gears, 
He shared in their laughter
and wiped away tears.
He didn't need blood or a
heartbeat to strive,
The love from his family 
made Spark feel alive.
