Marilyn Lott Poems

I have driven clear across the country
Seeing hundreds of oil pumps in operation
Right out in the middle of nowhere
Oh, I enjoy seeing them while on vacation
...

It's a hot and lazy time of year
With temperatures rising high
A body doesn't want to work
Doesn't even want to try
...

I want to share with you, my friends
Up amongst the clouds and sky
In Savannah, Georgia
It brings to me a smile and a sigh.
...

Back in the old wagon train days
The people certainly had to be strong
The trails they blazed were amazing
And the days incredibly long
...

What fun it is to bake a cake
Designed and baked by me
I love creating this wonderful
Sweet and pretty delicacy
...

As I sit and look out my window
I watch as the hummingbirds
Swarm my tempting bird feeder
I’m captivated beyond words
...

Sometimes it’s a lot of fun
To turn back the pages of time
Go back fifty years or more
Stop everything to look behind
...

It’s hard to believe that still
Today in modern times
Technology has been frozen
It’s exciting though, I find
...

I go to church on Sunday
And reflect the week before
I pray to God for help
With what next week has in store
...

As time goes on we always hope
That advancement is being made
So in the case of Black History
We must never let progress fade
...
