Marilyn Lott Poems

Sometimes we look back upon our lives
It seems the older that we get
We think about the things we've missed
The things we have not done yet.
...

Just outside my kitchen window
I saw a bird had perched there
I didn't mind at all because
With the birds I will always share.
...

I never met another person
With a personality the same
A smile is on my face
Every time I hear his name.
...

I think we take way too much for granted
When our life is not going wrong
But when that changes, it is so difficult
We are not uplifting, optimistic and strong.
...

Her name is Lily Push-off
And her brilliance you can see
She brightens every flower bed
She does this so happily.
...

Don’t you love a happy ending?
To hear a special story
About folks who had nothing
And then felt a sense of glory
...

We couldn’t believe what we were hearing
It just couldn’t be true we thought
How could anyone be this cruel?
We hoped they would quickly be caught
...

As winter turns the corner
And spring is on the way
I wait with mounting happiness
To see what comes today.
...

In the midst of the holiday season
With Christmas almost here
Do you ever think of spring time?
Amidst the holiday cheer?
...

It was a lovely place for a picnic
Like climbing very high
Straight through clouds to heaven
So beautiful it could make you cry
...
