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.
...

When you look upon a tombstone,
Two numbers seem to stand alone.
The year upon this earth they arrived,
And the second was when they died.
...

How can the world really be at peace,
When it is slowly being destroyed?
When any species becomes extinct,
It will definitely leave a void.
...

Life is a story that you write as you go,
And every day will start a new page.
Life is a performance during the show,
And you always have to step on stage.
...

I have just about had enough,
Now I'm ready to call your bluff.
I don't care what cards you're holding,
I have no intention of folding.
...

Live each moment as if it's your last,
Relive those memories from your past.
Nothing in this life can be certain,
At any time they can draw the curtain.
...

As the light shines down, I feel the glow
The power of God has let me know.
As I listen to his mighty praise
Once again, I know he'll raise.
...

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.
...
