BAND-AID AND PROFILE

Band-Aid and ProfileToday I saw an old photo that
Reminded me of a time
When I was alone and afraid
This photo also brought back
Fond memories of when you were there
To greet me and others
You were that touch of a place called Home

You were strays but hung around
To be the “medic dogs”
Not sure who named you but you were
Our friends that wagged their tails
When we come back in from the field
You asked nothing but to be patted
And be hugged from time to time
You shared a time with us that was
Difficult and hard

You gave us comfort, love, and face licks
That reminded us of home from time-to-time
As I look at your photo it brings a smile
And feelings of warmth to this old soldiers heart
Thanks for being there and making my time go better
You both gave us a sense of sanity in an insane world
