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.
...

As the angels sing with heavenly grace,
The light of God shines upon his face.
A man without sin, a man without wrong,
He walks among us, as he should belong.
...

If you think you're right, or I think you're wrong,
There must be a way for us to get along.
We have to be willing to give in a little,
So, we can find a way to meet in the middle.
...

The stars shine dimly in the midnight skies
The shadows moving can deceive your eyes.
The cover of clouds is so dark and dreary
The feelings described can only be eerie.
...

Every time I look into the mirror,
I can see the image so much clearer.
There's no more shattered existence,
And I'm running into less resistance.
...

Dancing together under the moonlight skies
Staring deeply into each other's eyes
Holding you in my arms so tight
Loving you just feels so right.
...

Not only are you the one that I desire,
You also are the one to truly inspire.
You always seem to have an insight,
And because of that I am able to write.
...

What's wrong with this world today?
Kids are no longer able to pray.
In schools, religion is not allowed inside,
But they bring in weapons and many have died.
...
