Marilyn Lott Poems

Do you ever just drive around
To see the country sights?
Old homesteads crumbling with time
It never seems quite right
...

There are many peaceful places
Inside this world we live
Walking along the seaside
The sea has so much to give
...

I wake up from a night time sleep
Lie still and as my mind awakes
The first thing I remember is
There is so much now at stake.
...

I know it isn't pretty
In fact it's right down sad
Nature has wreaked havoc
It kind of makes me mad.
...

I just love the Yucca plant
With their pale yellow blooms
But they are a little spiky
And need some extra room
...

I would like to send a message, God
Up there in heaven with you
To my brother that I miss so much
It is something I need to do.
...

As you drive down a red dirt road
In the autumn of the year
You’ll find along the roadways
Wild plums so fresh and pure
...

Did you ever get so close to a cow
You could feel her warm breath on your face?
She continues chewing her cud thoughtfully
As you spend quality time in her space
...

I wish this was my backyard
For it’s the perfect place for me
It’s beautiful and quite amazing
And it’s filled with tranquility
...

It is old and in disrepair
But for many years was strong
Folks gathered within its walls
As they sang sweet holy songs
...
