Jon M. Nelson

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.
...

Our love is like the wind,
I can't see it but I know it's there.
Our love is like the wind,
It's always like a breath of fresh air.
...

I can feel our passion burn like a fire,
And I'm ready to give in to the desire.
Deep down I can truly begin to admire,
The way our love can take us higher.
...

Now I lay me down to sleep,
And hope my dreams are thoughtful and deep.
I pray that tonight I'm not awaken,
By bombs exploding and the ground shakin'.
...

I never knew what obstacles,
May be lurking around the bend.
There had been many times
I thought that my life would end.
...

She's keeping the home fires burning,
While a dangerous living he is earning.
She has had so many sleepless nights,
While he's away fighting for our rights.
...

We must pass on our happiness and our sorrows,
To our children, for they own tomorrow.
The world is now theirs to take care,
We did our best but now we must share.
...

Lightning never strikes the same place twice,
So never pass up a chance worth taking.
Try risking your hand and roll the dice,
It just may be history on the making.
...

I have been down to the lowest level,
Where I stood face to face with the devil.
But I had to raise myself up higher,
And was able to get up out of the fire.
...

We all come from different backgrounds,
No two people are the same.
If you take a good look around,
You'll wonder what is really in a name.
...

Where exactly did our priorities go?
This is something we may never know.
Family values are a thing of the past,
And our connections don't seem to last.
...

The midnight creatures begin to howl,
As I see the shadows on the prowl.
The darkness surrounds me like a cloud,
As my inner soul screams out loud.
...

As I search the horizon for a new beginning,
I always wonder what tomorrow will bring.
As the sun rises, it triggers a new day.
But now will I get lost along the way?
...

As I look all around everything is soaked,
From all the violence that's been provoked.
Crimson rivers now flow through the street,
And it is everywhere I try to place my feet.
...

They say Curiosity killed the cat,
Well, there is a story behind that.
It's not the reason that you may think,
When you hear it, your heart will sink.
...

Dear John,
I don't like that you're so far away,
Because I want to hold you every day.
I long to hold you in my loving arms,
...

Why is it so hard for me to let her go?
Because deep down inside, I know we are through.
I've learned from my mistakes, and I'm willing to grow.
But I don't want to move on to find someone new.
...

I awake in my own bedroom,
Have I been in here before?
I need to use the restroom,
But I cannot find the door.
...
