Jon M. Nelson Poems

Sitting here watching the minutes tick by,
The boredom seems to be dragging on.
Hoping that the time would just fly,
So that I could get going and be gone.
...

Celebrate your life in every way,
Make the most out of each day.
Another part of your life is gone,
When you face the break of dawn.
...

You cannot find the rainbow,
Without waiting out the storm.
If you suffer the blizzard,
You'll appreciate the warm.
...

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.
...
