Jon M. Nelson Poems

They’re always there to lend a hand,
Whenever the job gets rough.
By your side they’ll always stand,
When the world gets too tough.
...

I know I'm not perfect and I will make mistakes,
But your love is the one thing I will not forsake.
I know I caused you pain and wish I could take it back,
Please understand I didn't mean for this attack.
...

I Thought I had found love,
In so many times before.
Until the day I found you,
Now I could not ask for more.
...

Over many decades I have done a lot of living
I have known many people and done a lot of giving.
Even though I am gone, I’m in a better place,
At some point I hope I put a smile on your face.
...

The sun will rise and it will set,
The world will always turn.
Mistakes will often be made,
They are lessons we will learn.
...

Even though my heart is in another place,
I still am able to see your smiling face.

Even though the miles keep us separated,
...

I don’t need one special day,
To show how much I love you.
I try so hard in every way,
To show my love is so true.
...

In my past I must take a glance,
To realize where I took a stance,
And what was the circumstance,
To be able to give me this chance.
...

No matter how difficult of a task you meet,
There are two things that you need to complete.
You may need to stop and say a prayer,
And of course hard work will get you there.
...

Family isn't always born that way,
People come into your hearts and stay.
It's the moments that you're able to share,
And find a way to show how much you care.
...
