Not Nearly Enough

One week does not seem like nearly enough time

 

Not enough time to build a house

Not enough time to truly find a way to love those around you

Not enough time to forge connections that last a lifetime

But Mississippi finds a way

 

The hours spent in the vans

The songs we sing in the worst voices imaginable

Mississippi finds a way to change you

 

I will continue to work

To get up in the morning, despite the monotony I know the day will bring

Because Mississippi is soon

And each day that passes brings me closer and closer to that joy I felt last February
