Marilyn Lott Poems

Never let your dreams go
Never let them stray
But face each new tomorrow
With just a hint of yesterday
...

It started with a little smile
A flirt and bat of the eye
For Elaine saw the man
She wanted to be her guy
...

If you go outside my friend
You’ll take your life in your hands
For if you slip and fall on ice
It will hurt so much when you land
...

It came in without concern for others
It didn’t matter to whom it would offend
It was rude and cold and mean
A wintry blast is what nature sent
...

As I passed through British Columbia
The Yukon wild and free
I pondered and I pondered
A question was plaguing me
...

Do you ever wonder how we can
Remember so many things?
Our memory bank is endless
With all the thoughts life brings
...

t’s been nine years, Lord
But the memories linger on
Please continue to help loved ones
Of the victims to be strong
...

Remember when as children
We would look up at the stars
Wish that we could fly there
Up to Juniper or Mars
...

What a hardworking guy he was
My dad, is who I mean
He’s gone now, you know
Some things seem like a dream
...

It is often a simple farm gate
But once you go inside
You see a world all its own
A place you’d love to reside
...
