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.
...

When you look upon a tombstone,
Two numbers seem to stand alone.
The year upon this earth they arrived,
And the second was when they died.
...

How can the world really be at peace,
When it is slowly being destroyed?
When any species becomes extinct,
It will definitely leave a void.
...

Life is a story that you write as you go,
And every day will start a new page.
Life is a performance during the show,
And you always have to step on stage.
...

I have just about had enough,
Now I'm ready to call your bluff.
I don't care what cards you're holding,
I have no intention of folding.
...

Live each moment as if it's your last,
Relive those memories from your past.
Nothing in this life can be certain,
At any time they can draw the curtain.
...

As the light shines down, I feel the glow
The power of God has let me know.
As I listen to his mighty praise
Once again, I know he'll raise.
...

Why should I even bother to try?
All I do is make the world cry.
I always attempt to give my all,
But in the end, I will always fall.
...
