Marilyn Lott Poems

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

There is nothing quite like Christmas dinner
When it is shared with folks that we enjoy
After Santa Clause has done his best
And all the children are playing with toys
...

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
...

Many country roads I’ve traveled
A lifetime of them to be exact
No better place on earth to be
And my friend, that’s just a fact
...

Oh what fun it is to see
A carriage drawn by a horse
Even after all these years
You can find them still, of course
...

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

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

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
...

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