Marilyn Lott Poems

It was out from the tall grass he came
Listening and watching everything
For it is haying time once more
Creatures large and small it brings.
...

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.
...

I know that you don't like poetry
But son, I really must
I know you don't want a party
With all the hoopla and fuss.
...

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.
...

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?
...

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
...

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
...
