My Momma always Said. . . .

God, make me dumb as Forrest Gump.
So I can fly far, far above this heap of dirt.
Let me trust the people around me.
Give me the courage to stand up for my friends,
Let me be committed to loving people faithfully
And be able to stand by my friend as her world crumbles,
even if she doesn’t deserve it.
I want to be meek enough to give my
Congressional Medal of Honor away as a token of my love
to an anti-war hippie,
Let me keep my promises no matter what lies ahead.
Give me the courage to rescue my platoon
From napalm annihilation never thinking about my life.
I want to give hope to the faithless drunk
That not everyone sleeps with prostitutes.
I want to be innocent and pure.
Oh yeah, and have a nice day.
