The Great Mississippi - A Glorious River

Showering Down the Mountain, Gushing Towards The Sea ..
Unbridled river, Coming to his Own ..

Clearing all From his Path, Slowly and Calm ..
Without Hesitation, No Obstacles Left ..

The wonderful boats, All In Amazement ..
One By One, Paying tribute To The Great river ..

The Bridges all hanging Up high, Without A Smirk ..
Their shadows, Wide and spread ..

The Coldness of water, All But Evident ..
The Fish, All But Grateful ..

Mark Twain, Wrote Much About This Great River ..
All The Wonders, Great Stories ..

All The Writers And Great Poets ..
Much Admired, The Inspiration ..

One By One, Each To His Own ..
The Genius Of The River, Transforming ..

As Though darkness Never Falls ..
Its Majesty, All Embracing ..

Casually, Yet With Firmness ..
Gently, But With Passion ..

The Roar Of The Water, Ever Present ..
Its Calmness, Ever Hypnotic ..

Having spent, Over A Week On The River ..
Slip Sliding, Turning whimsically Aside ..

Nurturing One Foot At A Time ..
Mesmerized, Ever Evoking ..

If America Is A Great Nation ..
Without Mississippi, It Is But A Slum ..

Much history, Its Bosom Full ..
Many Great Men, Traversed At Length ..

Brother, If You Get A Chance ..
Traverse Its Wonders ..

Your "Spirit" ..
"Will" Be ..

"Rejuvenated" ..

Again,
If America Is Great ..

Without "Mississippi" ..
It Would Be ..

A ..
"Slum" ..

Praise You Mississippi ..
Rush, and Roar On ..
