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.
...

As I follow in his footsteps, I know he'll lead the way.
I get closer to heaven with every passing day.
I'm on the path of righteousness, leading toward the Lord.
Praying and listening as He speaks his mighty word.
...

I was brought back down to reality,
Because I couldn't fight the gravity.
Everything was always up in the air,
But nothing could keep me up there.
...

When we were children, we would go and play,
Outside without worry throughout the day.
We can no longer leave children unsupervised,
In a flash they can be gone before your eyes.
...

As we all go through this life
there are times when we reflect.
And as we look into the future
we don't know what to expect.
...

You are my rock,
the one I'll always lean upon,
The one I want to see,
when I wake in the dawn.
...

Who will you be when the world moves on?
What mark will you leave when you're gone?
Your life is who you are while you're here.
Your legacy is left behind over the years.
...

As I gaze into your eyes,
You put me into a trance.
With your love I realize,
I've been given a chance.
...
