Jon M. Nelson Poems

As we journey through our lives,
We all take separate paths.
Sometimes they're filled with sorrow,
Other times they're full of laughs.
...

Once again, it's that time of year,
When the world should be full of cheer.
This is the time for peace and love,
As the angels watch from up above.
...

You can't expect me to be something I'm not,
This is who I am and this is what you've got.
I won't pretend to be someone else's dream,
So that I can help with your self-esteem.
...

Verse 1:
Good times come and they go but my love remains the same,
You'll always be a part of me for this isn't just a game.
I say that I love you, but you say you love me more,
...

He's lived a fulfilling Life,
He has seen and done it all.
He proudly served his country,
When Uncle Sam did call.
...

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.
...

How can the world really be at peace,
When it is slowly being destroyed?
When any species becomes extinct,
It will definitely leave a void.
...

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.
...
