Kay Roberts Poet Rhyme

Faithful Companion

You walk a step in front of me, clearing our path from harm,
You walk by my side, you don't carry a firearm.
You sleep at the side of me, our bed a concrete floor,
I promise I will carry you, if you can't take any more.
You protect me from danger, you're always on red alert,
You comfort and support me, when you know that I am hurt.
You show your faithfulness, in everything you do,
I promise to be your companion, I'll always be there for you.
You serve your country, your loyalty is beyond compare,
You're there in times of hardship, showing that you care.
You carry on regardless, through a war torn land,
I promise to be with you forever, by your side I'll always stand.
You don't take risks, you take your duties in your stride,
You don't shy away, you don't run and hide.
You're not just a military dog, you're my best friend,
I promise we'll be together, until our days do end.

Thanks for your compliments once again. I saw a video on Facebook about military dogs and it inspired this.:-)
