Roosevelt K Ostheimer is an old man

He is a kind man

He has had a challenging life

But he refuses to let that bitter him

Roosevelt is also a brilliant man

He has always been curious and energetic

He has dedicated his entire life to learning

Some time ago he devoted himself to creating something

Something that will always lend a hand

Something that will always be there for others

Something that can help in ways he can not

Roosevelt has been creating a robot!

He has failed many times

And worries that he is only getting older

Late one evening, Roosevelt had an accident

And he can no longer use his hands as he once could

Because of this, Roosevelt lost his energy

He lost his curiosity

He lost his devotion

And began to wonder why he had ever tried at all

Roosevelt’s friends and family are unhappy

They see him in despair

They know how much he wanted to help

So they came together to tell Roosevelt

That they appreciated his efforts

But they appreciate him even more

That his kindness, and energy, and curiosity

Were more help than any robot could ever be
