Mississippi to me?
It’s a thousand memories,
of the beaches, and the breeze,
and the lapping of the Gulf on
my knobby-kid knees.
Mississippi to me?
It’s family folk, now departed,
on the seawall, and the harbor,
catching bounty from the waters; trout and shrimp,
and crab and oysters.
Mississippi to me?
It’s the place that I am known.
Where my soul can freely roam,
where my heart and I belong.
Mississippi is my home.
