| Daddy's Girl "It's a girl", they said And his joy slipped a notch He'd wanted a boy What father wouldn't As the years went by He taught her all he knew All he would have taught a son And she learned it all But she was just a girl And a daughter could never equal a son He'd been robbed by fate No matter that she mastered it all No matter that she yearned to please him Or that she excelled in all things taught her No matter that she was better than most She was always just a girl She did her best, she gave her all But fate had robbed her, too Her best was never good enough She was never more than Daddy's girl Copyright � Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
| Decisions I sit at the window And stare sightlessly outside Decisions weigh heavy on my mind Which path do I take? The one my heart points me towards? Or the one my conscience points me to? And who's to say which is the right one? If it were only myself involved The choice would be so much easier But other lives will be touched by this People I love, and who love me There are no easy answers Perhaps there are no answers at all And the decision must be mine alone No one can make it for me So I sit here The weight of the world on my shoulders My mind spinning with thoughts And no solution in sight Copyright � 12/31/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
| Dizzy Thoughts are spinning thru my mind Disjointed, senseless, confusing Without any specific direction Without any foregone conclusion A thousand different pieces To a puzzle without solution My mind has no peace My soul no absolution There must be answers to be had If only I knew the question Copyright � 6/21/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
