What A Great Country

my favorite football player
is brett favre
he played almost a whole season
with a broken thumb
and he’s never missed a game
in his life
not even one
he’s almost as tough as pat tillman
he was a football player
and an army ranger
my grandpa was a paratrooper
he died in vietnam
when pat tillman got killed
in afghanistan
my mom cried
and she doesn’t even like football
that much
my dad didn’t cry
but he was sad and said
that guy was a stud
and he sure was
when i grow up
i’m going to play football
and i will be someone's favorite player
someday
that’s what i pray for
