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.
...

Today as your two hearts join together
You'll cherish this day until forever.
As you stand united as husband and wife,
Remember this day for the rest of your life.
...

When you hold my hand, it is my heart,
And that is where I will want to start.
If you're the one to ever feel the pain,
It is my tears that will fall like the rain.
...

I keep King James in a drawer by my bed,
And I say a prayer before resting my head.
I serve Uncle Sam proudly every day,
As I help protect the American way.
...

Some people come into our lives,
Not knowing where they belong.
They may ask for our help because,
They just may not be strong.
...

When it seems that all you do,
Is to stumble and fall,
Remember before you walk, you
Have to learn to crawl.
...

When you're told you can't go on,
Or that you don't have what it takes.
Give it your all to prove them wrong,
And that they have made a mistake.
...

If life gives you lemons,
You can make some lemonade.
You can either make some money,
Or you can drink all away.
...
