Marilyn Lott Poems

It happened one day, it was right after noon
Quiet it was, I said not a word
For all of a sudden on my flowers nearby
I heard the whirring sound of a hummingbird.
...

He stood so tall and handsome
The man that is my dad
He knew just what to say to me
When I was happy or when I was sad.
...

I feel so lucky when I rise from my bed
There is one thing on my mind
And that is to look at the morning sky
I’m thrilled about what I will find
...

Have you ever had a day of wonder
Where anything was a possibility?
Looking through the eyes of a child
So fresh and new and free?
...

From the time I was a little girl
For as long as I can remember
We had a giant woodpile
From January through December
...

We all want to feel safe and secure
One of the most important things
And at times it’s very difficult
For trouble is part of what life brings
...

Well he’s gone and I gotta tell ya
It seems eerie here alone
I kind of miss his presence
After all, I’m not made of stone
...

Oh what a lovely day it was
The weather warm and sweet
Packed with friends we cherish
No better folks could you meet
...

They’re the cutest little cats
That you have ever seen
They purr when you pet them
And are never nasty or mean
...

Scrapbooks are a collection
Of photos from the past
They point out that nothing
Will forever last
...
