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.
...

Your love is what keeps me going,
When I feel I can't go any more.
Your love makes it worthwhile,
When I wonder what I'm living for.
...

I don't need any chocolates to eat,
Because your love is such a treat.
I don't need a romantic card to read,
You're all the Valentine that I need.
...

The beginning of the year started so strong,
Then everything just all went wrong.
It was the start of a brand-new decade,
Then all of our hope just began to fade.
...

As I reflect on the tragedy and insanity,
And the overall view of our humanity,
I try to keep my outlook positive,
And wonder how to make a better place to live.
...

As Life provides a challenge,
You must learn to overcome.
You'll win many battles,
But sometimes still lose some.
...

Noone can know for sure,
What really lies ahead.
Reflect back on the things,
That you did and said.
...

I've always wanted to love you
God knows I've tried
I've reached out with my heart
But it's always been denied.
...
