Marilyn Lott Poems

If you've ever driven cross country
Stayed off the interstate
The sights you see are such that
It's the perfect decision to make
...

We take one day at a time
As we stroll through the years
Life is not always easy
There are problems that bring tears
...

The trails of yesterday
Were rugged and extremely long
Those folks had to be brave
Resilient and strong
...

We write down the words
That we choose for our poems
We do it in our own special way
As our mind continues to roam
...

As the years go rolling past you
Starting as a little child
Worries are at a minimum
But memories are carefully filed.
...

My dad was truly my hero
How special he was to me
I was really a lucky girl
For he treated me tenderly,
...

So many faces that spring presents to us
And don’t we just love them all?
Ponds and lakes warm for ducks and geese
New flowers both small or sturdy and tall.
...

I’m afraid that sometimes I feel bitchy
I feel grumpy the whole day through
I just feel very out of sorts
Does this ever happen to you?
...

Lots of farmers get together
From all across the land
So much there is to share
Sometimes will take a stand.
...

Old barns capture my attention
As I drive across the land
They dot the country landscape
On solid ground on which they stand.
...
