Barbara Stahly Poems

Alone am I and wondering why.
All I ever wanted was someone to love
A sweet, loving man who loved me too.
I did love several but they weren't right.
...

Janice my dear, daughter of mine,
So sweet and loving and pure of thought.
Given to me from the Lord above
To teach us here all about love.
...

Thoughts of you Russ fill my days
in oh so many different ways
when you were small and sweet as could be.
The years went so fast, too fast for me
...

The pigeons fly to and fro
across the rooftops they do go.
coo coo they gently talk as
they do their rooftop walk.
...

SPRING

Spring is here, I feel it in the air
The days are longer, the sky so blue
...

Dear dad, I never got to tell you
what you really meant to me.
I wanted to be your little girl
and sit upon your knee
...

Camille my niece, oh so witty,
she's smart as a tack and so very pretty.
When she was little I called her a brat
but now she's grown up and made up for that.
...

Dave oh Dave, so full of life,
here he is now with two kids and a wife.
When he was little, oh me oh my he'd try
my patience, oh what a guy!
...

Redding is where I started my life
as a mommy and a wife.
There are mountains all around
it's a lovely little town.
...

Oh how I loved you, with all my heart and soul
with you in my life I felt whole.
We were so very young and life was wonderful.
We had our babies, four there were.
