Patricia Neely-Dorsey Poet Rhyme

Meet My Mississippi

MEET MY MISSISSIPPI
 Faulkner's Sanctuary
 Eudora's home state
 Elvis' birthplace
 The bulk of the Trace;
 Sprawling beaches
 Along the Gulf Coast shore
 One blues man's crossroads
 And inspiration for more;
 An abundance of history
 Tradition and folklore
 Warm front porch welcomes
 With a wide open door;
 A ride down the mighty river
 On the American Queen
 And some of the most
 Beautiful countryside
 That you've ever seen
 She's music and melodies
 And the mockingbird's songs,
 By valor and arms
 And faith ever strong;
 She's magnolias blooming
 Around Jackson's capitol dome
 And the sweet scent of honeysuckle
 That forever says "home"
 She's My Mississippi
 She's hospitality's face
 Roll On Mississippi
 You're a true State of Grace
 2013 Patricia Neely-Dorsey
