Marilyn Lott Poems

I have special family memories
Of when I was just a child
My family did things together
More often than once in awhile
...

You should have seen this house in its day
It was warm and cozy and held
A family quite a few years ago where
A mom, dad and two kids dwelled.
...

We have waited all the long winter
Suffering through the cold
By the time late winter’s here
Shivering really is growing old
...

How proud we are of our country
And what it has always stood for
Old Glory flying high and proud
Began when folks hit the shore
...

It takes place in a cemetery, my friend
You are sucked right into the past
In the midst of the 1800’s it was
Where history was forever cast
...

As you drive across our country
So many things you can see
That set your heart racing
Touching your feelings tenderly
...

There is nothing at all like peace
To keep us on a happy note
Sometimes it sure isn’t easy
But we really have to have hope
...

I slipped into the past again
Dug out some pictures of old
Faded so with age they are
But so many stories they told
...

It's a different kind of life
The way the Amish live
Giving up so many things
Perhaps they want to give
...
