Women Like Her

Do you really think
She doesn't know
What you are doing
And where you go
She's not that stupid
But you must be
She's really special
Or don't you see
That women like her
Are rare indeed
And you should treat her
Respectfully
I can't imagine
Why she still cares
As much as she does
But you beware
If you should lose her
You'll never find
Another like her
So keep in mind
The price you will pay
So great a loss
And consider if
It's worth the cost

The Poems of
Terri Lyn Stanfield
Just To See You Smile

If there's anything you want from me
You have but to ask, and it's yours
There is nothing I wouldn't do for you
No task too difficult, no cost too great
No limits to how far I would go
And the only payment I require is the smile on your face
And the love in your heart

Living In Paradise

The roof is leaky
The grass needs cut
The window is cracked
The door won't shut
The faucet's dripping
The carpet's stained
The floor is creaky
This sink won't drain
This old run down house
Sure needs repair
The cracks in the wall
Let in the air
I'm sure you wonder
Why we stay here
The answer to that
Is crystal clear
Regardless how it
May look to you
This is paradise
I tell you true
Yes, it's ramshackle
But it is full
From basment to roof
With rare jewels
Love, joy, happiness
Kindness and hope
And familial bliss
Yes, the full scope
Of things that make
A house a home
And not one of us
Will ever roam
