Marilyn Lott Poems

It's gonna be tough
My little guy
But I'll give you the earth
The moon... the sky
...

There’s nothing like hanging clothes on the line
They’ve done it since time began.
Whether a branch or a caveman’s rock
But today it’s not really a trend.
...

You open up so many doors
When you read to a child
Their imagination becomes so vivid
As they are artistically beguiled
...

Oh mom, if only I could talk to you
Put my arms around you tight
Light 100 candles on your cake
My goodness, what a lovely sight!
...

That's right my friend, I'm turning 80
But it doesn't seem to bother me
The time goes on day after day
It is just a double number to me.
...

This time of year always brings
Many remembrances back to me
My family gathered closely
Singing carols by the tree
...

He was lookin’ kinda cool
Against his ‘pink Cadillac’
Looking on ahead of him
But still always looking back
...

Most of us don’t really analyze
What our feet have to go through
We just know that the things are there
Doing what we want them to do
...

They are good and honest folks
Their land has so much to give
They grow crops across the prairie
In the good life that they live
...

Our Hydro fun went on
As the townsfolk continued to gather
The parade was led by a police car
We were not detained by the weather
...
