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.
...

I've watched you grow from a child,
Into the adult that you are today.
You used to be so reckless and wild,
And you have come such a long way.
...

As you gently hold my hand
You set my mind at ease.
As you softly kiss my lips,
It sends a tremble to my knees.
...

When I look at you, I see,
The love inside your eyes.
You whisper softly to me,
And it takes me by surprise.
...

The reason my heart still beats,
Because you hold it in your hand.
The reason that I don't fall down,
Because you always help me stand.
...

I search deep down inside my heart,
And wonder, "What did I do? "
To find the one that I've been looking for
To deserve someone like you.
...

I've been through hardships, and through sorrow.
I never knew what to expect tomorrow.
I had given up on love and was about to give in.
Then I met you and my new life could begin.
...

As I look out into the strange world,
I have no idea what to expect.
And as I see the dangers surround me,
I wonder who'll be there to protect.
...
