Put a band aid on it


Sometimes that phrase has bad connotations
But one day a little girl without hesitation
Had a box of band aids
And skipped around the room
Mending with her 1st aid
Much impending doom
Bubbie was sad and missing zaide
The girl climbed into the lap of the lady
Chose a pink band aid with purple stars
Put it over bubbe's heart
She skipped through the house
Her baby brother had tears
A blue and yellow band aid
Soothed his fears
Along with a hug
And a sweet little song
Sister first aid can't go wrong.
Unaware of the impact she'd made
With a box of band aids
She searched each day
High and low
For a broken place
For her band aids to go.
Ima in the kitchen looked impatient
The girl made another band aid donation
Putting a green and orange band aid
On imas hand
Which made her day
Take a box
Along with you
You may find a reason to
Love someone
Who needs some healing
Your band aid may change
The way they are feeling.
