Marilyn Lott Poems

As a new year rounds the corner
And Spring is on the way
There are two things that for me
Create the perfect day
...

Don’t you treasure your family time?
It sort of puts your heart to rest
Devoted, loved and respected
A close family is always the best
...

Happy Birthday to me
Though I didn’t receive a card
I’ll light a candle for myself
And decorate the yard
...

You know, it’s quite amazing
How different generations are
I heard stories from my grandma
They didn’t always have a car
...

They are coming up in my gardens
Why, just like wild flowers they grow
A delicious early spring splash of color
That’s why I really love them so
...

I drive down those rusty red roads
Enjoy the country scenes
Nothing could be better
It’s everything that I dream
...

Across the green fields
Up on the bluffs
High into the sky
A place I didn’t realize existed
...

I’d like to tell you about a man
That meant so much to me
He helped me when my husband died
To find a little tranquility
...

I have a tomato garden
That is flourishing and so sweet
I love to eat the ripened ones
As they’re such a delicious treat
...

I have a fascination
For women who walk the street
I wonder why they’ve chosen
To look for men to meet
...
