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 hope that when I leave here,
It won't be without a trace.
Hopefully at some point in life,
I put a smile upon your face.
...

As I look out into the strange world,
I have no idea what to expect.
And as I see the dangers surround me,
I wonder who'll be there to protect.
...

If you feel you've hit rock bottom,
And there's no place left to fall,
When the world is out to get you,
And your back's against the wall,
...

As night turns into morning,
The light is still so dim.
I listen to the warning,
As the new dawn begins.
...

Bills, bills just keep pouring in,
And I don't know where to begin.
I check my account, do I have enough?
Being responsible can be so rough.
...

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.
...

I'm like an animal trapped in a cage,
I can feel my anger turning into rage.
I have to break on out and get loose,
Before my neck gets caught in a noose.
...

I see the glow shine from your face
How I long for your warm embrace.
I miss your smile and your gentle touch
We've shared so little but shared so much.
...

Every time you turn around,
there's always someone there.
Anytime you feel on your own,
there is someone who'll care.
...

When I look at you, I know how I feel.
The love I have for you is so real.
I need you with me every passing day,
In your life is where I want to stay.
...

When I look into your eyes
I can see for eternity
When I'm with you, I realize,
How much your love means to me.
...

When we stop all the fighting, and the wars do cease,
Then we'll all live together with love and peace.
When labels become a thing of the past,
Then no one is first, and no one is last.
...

I had given up on love,
I thought I was through.
I thought that I had had enough,
Until fate led me to you.
...

Even when the miles between us are long,
The love between us grows strong.
In the long run our time apart seems short
All we can do is show each other support.
...

My life was full of shattered dreams,
Until you became my dream come true.
My life was ripping at the seams,
Until you held it together like glue.
...

Tonight, as I unite with my best friend,
We'll share a love that will never end.
As we stand together as husband and wife,
It'll be happiness for the rest of our life.
...

Over the past few years, I've gained some weight,
And it's been increasing at an alarming rate.
I think that I know the reason why,
And my version may make you sigh.
...
