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.
...

Up in the morning before it's even light,
They work all day, then go home at night.
Giving it all through the sweat and hurt,
For them, this is all just in a day's work.
...

Hate and prejudice are traits that are learned,
And because of that so many people get burned.
They live their lives by the way they're taught,
Never realizing all the hatred, they have brought.
...

The soldier gives the right to bear arms,
By carrying a weapon of his own in War.
The soldier keeps us all safe from harm,
By defending us on a foreign shore.
...

For centuries they have been in the fight,
Serving our country and doing what's right.
They have worked so hard to pay their dues,
I'm honored to have walked a mile in their shoes.
...

There are many words that will,
Forever remain unspoken.
For the loss of our loved ones,
Left us all heart broken.
...

Let us all take a moment to reflect,
In a moment of silence to show respect.
For all of those that are no longer here,
Do not be ashamed to shed a tear.
...

From the human race to animals in the wild,
There's a special bond between a mother and child.
Right up until the very last breath in her lungs,
She'll do what she must to protect her young.
...

As I look at the wreckage of the past,
I hope the future will bring a change.
I'm surprised humanity was able to last,
But our potential has unlimited range.
...

There will always be satisfaction,
If we can always be in the action.
There will always be a reaction,
If there'll always be an attraction.
...

Always follow your dreams,
Don't let them fade away.
If you lose sight of your goal,
It will haunt you some day.
...

My love is still just as strong for you,
As it was on the day that we said, 'I Do'.
And my love for you continues to grow,
And I try every day to let you know.
...

We're all unique and different,
That's what makes us who we are.
We all have a talent or gift,
That will someday take us far.
...

You cannot find the rainbow,
Without waiting out the storm.
If you suffer the blizzard,
You'll appreciate the warm.
...

I Thought I had found love,
In so many times before.
Until the day I found you,
Now I could not ask for more.
...

As you get older and begin to mature,
You'll find times of which you're unsure.
This is natural, a process as you grow,
And there are things you still won't know.
...

Sitting here watching the minutes tick by,
The boredom seems to be dragging on.
Hoping that the time would just fly,
So that I could get going and be gone.
...

Celebrate your life in every way,
Make the most out of each day.
Another part of your life is gone,
When you face the break of dawn.
...
