Jon M. Nelson Poems

Ever since you've come into my life,
You have set my heart at ease.
I feel so comfortable around you,
And you're so easy to please.
...

As I go forth and face the world
I know that I will not be alone
You are always in my heart and mind
I can feel you deep in my soul.
...

I've traveled down a dark and lonely road,
And have gotten lost along the way.
Until a guiding light came shining through,
And made things as clear as day.
...

How do I love you? Shall I count the ways,
I’m sure you’re tired of that worn out phrase.
I could count forever and to infinity,
And still not express how much you mean to me.
...

I've seen many things and I still believe,
You have to give if you want to receive.
Do unto others as they would do to you,
It's harder to find for this to be true.
...

Everywhere you look you will see,
The downfall of our humanity.
So much crime and lack of respect,
We’ll never know what to expect.
...

As I travel through this life, every passing day,
I am not afraid, of whatever comes my way.
As I continue on, I see the hatred and the fears.
I am not afraid, for I am able to shed my tears.
...

I was the first to die,
In the Revolutionary War.
I paved the road of history
For so many more.
...

I love you more than I could ever express,
Even with my love that I always confess.
I try to show you just how much I care,
With all the memories and moments we share.
...

I've fought for my country,
And shed my blood for you.
I help keep this nation free,
And defend the red, white, and blue.
...
