Marilyn Lott Poems

Many wonderful paintings
Are on his office wall
Paintings of amazing barns
So many he recalls
...

Each day is so very fragile
We think we know how it will go
The good times make us smile
For we truly enjoy them so
...

I’ll bet that you remember a movie
About a Yellow Brick Road
Dorothy was the little girl
And Toto was her dog
...

Pretend you’re not camping out
Pretend it’s your way of life
Your home is the wilderness now
Along with two kids and a wife
...

So many folks feel so alone
They feel that they have failed
They don’t know where to go
They feel their ship in life has sailed
...

As I look back on my life
Starting when I was a child
In some ways it seems
I’ve only been here for awhile
...

What wonderful colors surround us
As we enter the summer season
Tiny buds have opened up
And they have a very good reason
...

I used to wanna be a cowgirl
A hat plopped atop my head
Wearing the dresses with fringes
A gun on a stand by my bed
...

They stood beside the water
Their little bodies' dark this night
A backdropp of brilliant sunset
It was a glorious precious sight
...

I wake up in the mornings
And realize I can see
I know how lucky that I am
‘Cause God has smiled on me.
