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.
...

I've always wanted to love you
God knows I've tried
I've reached out with my heart
But it's always been denied.
...

I've been hurt so many times
That breaking hearts ought to be a crime.
I've been walked on and used before
But I pick myself up and come back for more.
...

Why should I even bother to try?
All I do is make the world cry.
I always attempt to give my all,
But in the end, I will always fall.
...

Even as I stand so proud and tall,
At any moment I could fall.
My life can come crumbling down,
I could end up losing my crown.
...

I've been out here driving all day,
Just heading down this lost highway.
I know now that I can never halt,
As I'm hypnotized by the asphalt.
...

Too many people have forgotten the reason,
That we should celebrate this season.
It's supposed to be a time of peace on Earth,
And to rejoice and remember a holy birth.
...

It's nearly impossible to face reality,
As you cross the bridge to insanity.
When you head out into the unknown,
It's a journey that you must take alone.
...

So far away yet so close to my heart,
Why must we be so far apart?
When I think of you it brightens my day,
Even though you're so far away.
...

Love is that little spark in your eye,
That makes you so happy you want to cry.

Love is that skip in the beat of your heart,
...

They are tears of joy that you may cry,
As you read these words just for you.
You may sit and ponder as to why,
These poems are written for only a few.
...

As you get settled down in your bed,
Be sure that you rest your weary head.
You can drift off as you close your eyes,
For I'm going to sing you a lullaby.
...

I could not live my life without you,
It's something I try not to think about.
I know that you are my love so true,
Of this I will never have any doubt.
...

As the angels sing with heavenly grace,
The light of God shines upon his face.
A man without sin, a man without wrong,
He walks among us, as he should belong.
...

If you think you're right, or I think you're wrong,
There must be a way for us to get along.
We have to be willing to give in a little,
So, we can find a way to meet in the middle.
...

The stars shine dimly in the midnight skies
The shadows moving can deceive your eyes.
The cover of clouds is so dark and dreary
The feelings described can only be eerie.
...

Every time I look into the mirror,
I can see the image so much clearer.
There's no more shattered existence,
And I'm running into less resistance.
...

Dancing together under the moonlight skies
Staring deeply into each other's eyes
Holding you in my arms so tight
Loving you just feels so right.
...
