Marilyn Lott Poems

Living well means many things
Doing what will keep us healthy
Eating all those nourishing foods
You really don’t have to be wealthy
...

We all have a multitude of friendships
That we have made through the years
But only a handful of friends
Will share pure laughter and sad tears
...

Bless this morning for I can see
God created it just for me

He found the good and also bad
...

Last winter we had lots of snow
And our share of rainy days
Our world was cold and damp
But I knew it wouldn’t stay that way
...

We have to believe in something
In order to get through life
We have to believe in someone
A parent, a husband or wife
...

Do you ever take a country drive
Quiet and peaceful on a summer day
Observing old homesteads
Built the old-fashioned way?
...

We woke up to a world of snow
Everything came to a crawl
Layers of pristine blankets
It was quite unbelievable
...

They try so very hard you know
To capture what they sought
To be if they could be someone
That they obviously are not.
...

I put the lawn mower away
I don’t need it anymore
There is a chill now in the air
And I know what is in store
...

I remember the 50s like yesterday
Such a different time than it is today
With poodle skirts and those classic cars
Drive-in movies under the stars
...
