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.
...

The rose stands for the family with faith and love for those who serve,
They're held with the highest respect for that's what they deserve.

A yellow ribbon is for the loyalty waiting for those serving abroad,
...

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.
...

Children are the future we all would agree,
But what exactly are we allowing them to see?
There's violence and fighting everywhere they turn,
What exactly do we want them to learn?
...

As I follow in his footsteps, I know he'll lead the way.
I get closer to heaven with every passing day.
I'm on the path of righteousness, leading toward the Lord.
Praying and listening as He speaks his mighty word.
...

Watching her sleep is such a peaceful sight
I lay there silently and watch her all night.
She lies there dreaming, about what, I can't say
But here in her life is where I want to stay.
...

When you wake in the morning, to the light of day
And the first thing you see is their smiling face.
When You're overjoyed, and you're filled with pride,
Because you have your lover by your side.
...

As you gaze upon their precious smile,
You'll see what makes it all worthwhile.
You can see how fragile life can really be,
As you gently hold them so delicately.
...
