Marilyn Lott Poems

I was taking a walk the other night
The sky was a brilliant orange-red
I should have retired already
But I was takin’ a stroll instead
...

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
...

I have always said everything has a poem
But, my friend, I have never ever dreamed
That we would be in a world crisis
Of this proportion - impossible it seems.
...

We must take it day by day
Our world has changed so much
It won't hurt to say daily prayers
This is nothing that we can rush.
...

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

When you look at my Cora Bell named Christa
You can imagine an autumn scene
Its golden brown colors are so
Timely, you know what I mean?
...

What would happen if you combined egg shells
With coffee grounds do you suppose?
I will tell you all about my experience
With a very delicate, beautiful and tiny pink rose.
...

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
...

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
...

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