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.
...

Our love is like the wind,
I can't see it but I know it's there.
Our love is like the wind,
It's always like a breath of fresh air.
...

I can feel our passion burn like a fire,
And I'm ready to give in to the desire.
Deep down I can truly begin to admire,
The way our love can take us higher.
...

Now I lay me down to sleep,
And hope my dreams are thoughtful and deep.
I pray that tonight I'm not awaken,
By bombs exploding and the ground shakin'.
...

I never knew what obstacles,
May be lurking around the bend.
There had been many times
I thought that my life would end.
...

She's keeping the home fires burning,
While a dangerous living he is earning.
She has had so many sleepless nights,
While he's away fighting for our rights.
...

We must pass on our happiness and our sorrows,
To our children, for they own tomorrow.
The world is now theirs to take care,
We did our best but now we must share.
...

Lightning never strikes the same place twice,
So never pass up a chance worth taking.
Try risking your hand and roll the dice,
It just may be history on the making.
...
