Marilyn Lott Poems

I got up this morning
Stripped the sheets off the bed
I’ll not use the dryer
But hang them up instead
...

He’s makin’ me a greenhouse
Oh Lord I wanted one
To grow some tiny little plants
Under the blazing sun
...

I was talking to a friend
Just the other day
She seemed to have more pain
Than even she could say
...

My God, how loneliness invades
The mind and body so!
It washes through the senses,
Self-esteem’s at an all-time low.
...

Sometimes we have too much stress
Our life really isn’t fine
That’s when we need to step back
And take one day at a time
...

Don’t you wish beautiful old barns
Would last till the end of time?
But weather worn and tattered
They do live past their prime
...

I love so much my Summer Place
Within my garden wall
Some of my flowers hug the ground
And others are amazingly tall
...

I’m surrounded by the things
That are special in my world
Walking down a red dirt road
As clouds above are swirled
...

I took a ride the other morning
Wednesday was the day of the week
Out in the wide open spaces
It was adventure I wanted to seek
...

It was the perfect kind of day
As I went for a little ride
Just me out with nature
Taking everything in stride
...
