New Orleans My Lagniappe

New Orleans, my beloved city,
Your soulful charm and vibrant energy,
Forever woven into my heart and soul,
A bond so strong, I'll never let go.
When Katrina ravaged through our streets,
My world shattered into a million broken pieces,
But amidst the chaos and destruction,
I found the strength to rebuild and heal my soul's affliction.
With each keystroke and every word I write,
I breathe new life into our spirit, so bright,
Your colors, your sounds, your people so true,
All come alive in my art, as I pay homage to you.
In my dreams, I see your essence,
And awaken with a burning passion and sense,
To create and honor your enduring legacy,
For you will always be a part of my heart's tapestry.
New Orleans, my love, my heart,
Through my art, I vow to never be apart,
For you are the city that holds my soul,
And through my creations, I make us whole.
With every stroke of the key and every word I write,
I feel our heartbeat and spirit ignite,
For you are more than a city, you are a living art,
A place of beauty, resilience, and soulful heart.
Let the music play and the good times roll,
For in my heart, New Orleans, you will forever hold
A special place, a tie that binds,
To you, my love, my heart, my soul entwined,
New Orleans is my lagniappe
