Marilyn Lott Poems

Well, we spent a couple of weeks
About fifty miles northwest of Billings
Camped on our twenty acres
The animals were really thrilling
...

It's the rodeo time of year
Time to get everyone in place
So much excitement happens
In a short time and small space
...

I remember when I was a little girl
I loved the Sears ‘n Roebuck Book
I’d turn it to the toys and I
Loved nearly every page I’d look
...

When I woke up this morning
And a sparkling new day was here
I sighed with great relive
It is a day I cannot spare
...

Travelin’ down those dusty roads
Don’t know where I’ll go next
But it doesn’t really matter ‘cause
I’m on the roads that I love best
...

What a tremendous comfort
My back yard is to me
In summer it’s just perfect
It’s as cozy as it can be
...

I wish I could send the fragrance
Of these lovely flowers to you
If you have never smelled Sweet Peas
My friend, it is long overdue.
...

What do you tell your children
When their world has turned upside down?
What do we say to an elderly parent
When you see their confused frightened frown?
...

One glorious day I went out for a ride
On a summery red dirt road
The sun was a’blazin’ the air so sweet
Put me in sort of a religious mode
...

I travel those open country roads
As far from the city as I can go
Fields forever stretch out wide
And I try to take life mighty slow
...
