To Alabama and back

The following is a reflection on the 2012 service spring break trip to Mobile, Alabama, with Campus Ministry. It is written by Ozzie Valverde. 


Minnesota climate, got a little
old. That’s why I hopped on a southbound bus
to a place where skies are clear as crystals,
Alabama, it’s called, a place to trust.
The sleepy city on the coast of dreams
brings back memories of places serene
there ain’t no question what’s in this place teems
lots of sunlight, and me without sunscreen.
My labor was a gift for those without
the advantage in this game we call life
worked as I planned, without getting worn-out
had a great crew, devoid of any strife.
Sweet home Alabama, point of Mobile
cross the Dixie line, you’ll never feel ill.
