The Poems of
Terri Lyn Stanfield

I Asked For This

So, I guess I asked for this
Three kids and a dog
A mortgage and two car notes
A budget that squeezes a little too tight
A schedule that Superman couldn't maintain
And a constant state of confusion
Well, they do say, be careful what you ask for
I asked for it, and I got it
And I couldn't be happier

Lifetime Commitment

I could have left
I had reason
But it would have
Felt like treason
I took the vows
I commited
For a life time
I'm no quitter
So I will stay
And work this out
Yes, even though
I have my doubts
I can't deny
That I've been hurt
And even if
You give your word
You'll have to prove
That it is true
Because I've lost
My trust in you
But we'll make it
Through this trial
Though it's going
To take a while
But there's one thing
I'm certain of
That one sure thing
That is our love

You Know You Did It

You say that you are innocent
Of all you've been accused
That you were unaware, deceived
That you were simply used
Forgive me if I can't believe
The sad tale that you claim
You seem to me, to be aware
Of all done in your name
You're savvy, and you're on the ball
A true, self made success
And yet you claim that you were duped
By amateurs, no less
No, sorry, that just will not fly
Why don't you just admit
That you're the brains behind this scam
And let's be done with it
It really was a brilliant scheme
With just one, tiny flaw
Your accomplices were a joke
And that was your downfall
So drop this innocent charade
And tell me your story
Since you're going to take the fall
You should get the glory
