MISSISSIPPI by Patricia Neely-Dorsey

MISSISSIPPI

In the heart of Dixie,

 
Perfumed by

 
The sweet, fragrant smell of magnolias

 
and serenaded with

 
The melodious songs of the mockingbird,

 
Lies a true Queen of the South.

 
Her name is Mississippi .

 
I don’t know how to explain this place,

 
Except to say that she “speaks” to me.

 
The rocks, the flowers, the birds and trees

 
Speak to me.

 
They sometimes whisper,

 
And sometimes they shout;

 
But always they say,

 
“This is where you belong.”
