people come around and readily flocks.
In a cosy place and in a well lit shop,
the kids with eager faces make a stop.
It is made of green, yellow and red -
a talking robot with a very big head.
It repeated back what it always heard -
one day it stopped, not a single word!
Sadly it could not serve its purpose there -
it was costly, amazing and playfully rare.
Seemed the toy had feelings and some more -
while it was kept in a dark corner of the store.
It lost its purpose in shop to joyfully serve,
but somehow it kept up the hope and nerve.
One day there came a pair of eager eyes
and took the toy by utter surprise.
From depths of utter despair it finally rose,
but as the kid neared it's heart froze.
Hopeful hands outstretched in immense joy -
a jubilant kid hugged a colourful toy.
In life, not all seasons do come at once -
each in their prowess wait for a chance.
So, keep up the hope and do your work -
there will always be light just after dark.
