I Am Hephaestus

by Kundai Chikowero aged 12

I am Hephaestus, son of Zeus
Who was flung onto the Island of Lemons by Zeus

I am Hephaestus, gentle and skilled
Who is very fond of his mother

I am Hephaestus, big and strong
Who built two mechanical robots with kids of their own

I am Hephaestus, husband of Aphrodite
For whom I sit and fashion clothes

I am Hephaestus, a brave god
Who stepped between my arguing parents

I am Hephaestus, hard working and peace loving
Who is the god of smiths and fire
