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 love you more than I could ever express,
Even with my love that I always confess.
I try to show you just how much I care,
With all the memories and moments, we share.
...

I may be from the north, but I have a southern charm,
I grew up in the country, but it wasn't on a farm.
I'd rather drive a pickup truck than a limousine,
Instead of the city, I'd rather be where it's green.
...

Some people come into your life,
that make an impression in your heart.
They never do quite fade away,
through all the years and miles apart.
...

I don't know why I had to go
I just know I miss you so.
I wish you were here right by my side
‘cause when I'm with you I'm so filled with pride
...

As I sit here in the world of shattered dreams,
I realize nothing is really as it seems.
The lunacy adheres to everything around,
And chaos looms as I hear the sound.
...

My inspiration comes from everywhere I look,
From the sun in the sky to the cover of a book.
I hope to inspire others with the words I write,
From the ones that I love to the wars that I fight.
...

As I search down deep into my soul,
I wonder if I can make it on my own.
I wonder where in life I have a role,
I need to know if I should be all alone.
...
