She found him in a dumpster While searching for precious stones She thought him just a youngster ‘Til she saw his missing bones
She realised at once That he had been discarded Abandoned by the ones He’d fearlessly guarded
For he was a robot, a humanlike android Commonplace in the future earth Considered disposable, of feelings devoid Due to his artificial birth
She took him in and cared for him They built a life together She replaced his missing limbs And swore to leave him never
He no longer had a master No orders to obey She taught him love and laughter The real human way
Over time he slowly learned to trust again His faith was restored, his heart healed And though it didn’t beat like normal men He felt a love so deep it would not yield
And til her dying day he stayed Forever with his saviour A lifetime of love and friendship repaid Memories he’d forever savour
The chance that she had given Long ago in their past Broke his algorithm And set him free at last
He began to walk the earthly lands Displaying humanity For he is the last who understands How good humans could be
