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.
...

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.
...

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 watched you grow from a child,
Into the adult that you are today.
You used to be so reckless and wild,
And you have come such a long way.
...

Verse 1:
I've lived life to the fullest,
It's been a long and lonely quest.
I've poured out my heart and soul,
...

Even if there are dreams you may chase,
Try to understand that it is not a race.
Pursue your goals at your own set pace,
So that you'll always be in the perfect place.
...

Dreams may be shattered, and hearts are broken,
Because sometimes you won't have a choice.
Your thoughts and words should never go unspoken,
As long as you're willing to raise your voice.
...

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?
...
