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.
...

Hate and prejudice are traits that are learned,
And because of that so many people get burned.
They live their lives by the way they're taught,
Never realizing all the hatred, they have brought.
...

She's keeping the home fires burning,
While a dangerous living he is earning.
She has had so many sleepless nights,
While he's away fighting for our rights.
...

You cannot find the rainbow,
Without waiting out the storm.
If you suffer the blizzard,
You'll appreciate the warm.
...

I Thought I had found love,
In so many times before.
Until the day I found you,
Now I could not ask for more.
...

As you get older and begin to mature,
You'll find times of which you're unsure.
This is natural, a process as you grow,
And there are things you still won't know.
...

Sitting here watching the minutes tick by,
The boredom seems to be dragging on.
Hoping that the time would just fly,
So that I could get going and be gone.
...

Celebrate your life in every way,
Make the most out of each day.
Another part of your life is gone,
When you face the break of dawn.
...
