Your stats should focus towards how you think you will play your bard.
Charisma is going to allow you to lull, mezz and charm better - to me the biggest strengths of a bard.
Dexterity is going to allow you to twist tunes better (I think). Some bards get off on having 3 songs going at once. Reduces bard song fizzles (song ends abruptly). (I am not 100% sure on this info but have heard it from many sources)
Strength is going to let you hit in mele a bit harder and carry a few more items. Bards do wear heavy plate armor. Bards do not get double attack so their mele is not such a strength. But if u love to mele...
Stamina is going to give you + HP. I think wars get 5 hp per each stamina at lvl 50, so mebe bards get 4 per. If you think you might do alot of lull pulling this might be a consideration.
In the end you can always carry extra gear to make you better one way or another. +80 hp and + 55 hp finger ring or 7 cha 5 dex finger ring x 2 are more than your starting stats in just 2 slots so in the end: do not lose too much sleep over it.
