| Harmless Fun You seem to be mature I thought you had good sense But you have lost your mind If you go through with this You're asking for trouble And you're playing with fire The consequences Are going to be dire You think it's no big deal It's just harmless fun But I think that you will find That you've nowhere to run You're opening a door That isn't gonna close It won't be that easy It's foolishness, you know I have done my duty As your true, caring friend And told you straight out this Can come to no good end Feelings will be damaged And trust will be shattered But it's your call to make You decide what matters Copyright � 5/25/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
| Fated I was there with him You were there with her But at sight of you My heart began to stir The things that I felt Could not be explained Whatever it was Would not be contained Then you looked at me And that's when I knew Without any doubt That you felt it too We both left our dates Drawn as moths to flame By this sensaation Whatever its name We stopped at arm's length And just simply stared Not sure what to make Of this lure that we shared You reached for my hand I gave it gladly And at that first touch Our hearts beat madly And for the first time In all of my life I felt completed Emotions were rife In that one instant Our fates were sealed tight Our souls became one True love at first sight Copyright � 5/26/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |

| A Baby Is Coming A baby is coming And what should be a joy Instead is a heartache It's that same old story Your daughter knew the facts And all the risks entailed But all your good teaching Has miserably failed Your daughter's not much more Than a baby herself Now all her hopes and dreams Must be put on a shelf She'll soon be a mommy At far too young an age And she's just not prepared To be one at this stage But it is too late now All the tears have been cried And what's been done, is done All she can do, is try The baby will be loved By one, and all, involved The news was unwanted But that feeling's resolved Though in a perfect world This would wait a few years We're all only human And that has brought us here A baby is coming We wait with mixed feelings We're happy and saddened But, yes, we are dealing Copyright � 5/26/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
