Marilyn Lott Poems

Do you ever miss school?
Well, I just have to say
That I do not miss it
Not one single day.
...

I looked way up high and I could see
A sweet squirrel looking down at me

I loved his design, his stripes and such
...

They are like my friends or my family
Oh yes, they truly are
As welcome as the nighttime
Skyward shining stars.
...

My friend, it was just this morning
As I said "hi" to the day
I saw a beautiful sky
It wouldn't stay that way.
...

The small town scrutinized
The pretty lady on the hill
She came from out of nowhere
Folks couldn’t get their fill
...

I was folding clothes this morning
When I picked up a sparkling sheet
I thought about the many times
Through my life I felt defeat
...

After the winter chill is gone
The spring flowers open up
The pink and white fruit blossoms
And lovely golden buttercup
...

The farmer put in very long days
After supper he’d go back out
And work sometimes ‘till long after dark
Hard work was what he was about
...

Let's say a prayer for tomorrow
For our lives, Lord, are in danger
Our world has turned upside down
Reality seems like a blur.
...

There are many roads we travel
And probably most we leave behind
We continue to walk ahead of us
New fresh roads we want to find.
...
