Marilyn Lott Poems

Stamp collecting is quite a hobby
A glance into world history
Researching another country
Uncovers so many mysteries
...

The leaves are turning yellow
A chill lies in the air
It won't be very long now
Before winter time is here
...

It looked like an abandoned house
No windows or any doors
Just gapping holes instead
And worn wooden floors
...

There was an old saying a long time ago
When your life was at a place
That was absolutely perfect
No unhappiness could you trace
...

I love my early morning risin'
It is like a new beginning
My slate so fresh and new
Blank and non-committing
...

As we gather in celebration
Of our men and women in uniform
Pride fills our hearts and souls
As they are honored one by one
...

There was excitement back in the old west
As cities were created from scratch
Sometimes drew the kind of folks
Where lawlessness started to hatch
...

I have driven clear across the country
Seeing hundreds of oil pumps in operation
Right out in the middle of nowhere
Oh, I enjoy seeing them while on vacation
...

It's a hot and lazy time of year
With temperatures rising high
A body doesn't want to work
Doesn't even want to try
...

I want to share with you, my friends
Up amongst the clouds and sky
In Savannah, Georgia
It brings to me a smile and a sigh.
