Jon M. Nelson

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.
...

The rose stands for the family with faith and love for those who serve,
They're held with the highest respect for that's what they deserve.

A yellow ribbon is for the loyalty waiting for those serving abroad,
...

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.
...

As we look into the future,
It's a long and uncertain road.
And as we travel it together,
We may burden a heavy load.
...

As you gently hold my hand
You set my mind at ease.
As you softly kiss my lips,
It sends a tremble to my knees.
...

When I look at you, I see,
The love inside your eyes.
You whisper softly to me,
And it takes me by surprise.
...

The reason my heart still beats,
Because you hold it in your hand.
The reason that I don't fall down,
Because you always help me stand.
...

I search deep down inside my heart,
And wonder, "What did I do? "
To find the one that I've been looking for
To deserve someone like you.
...

I've been through hardships, and through sorrow.
I never knew what to expect tomorrow.
I had given up on love and was about to give in.
Then I met you and my new life could begin.
...

As I look out into the strange world,
I have no idea what to expect.
And as I see the dangers surround me,
I wonder who'll be there to protect.
...

If you feel you've hit rock bottom,
And there's no place left to fall,
When the world is out to get you,
And your back's against the wall,
...

As night turns into morning,
The light is still so dim.
I listen to the warning,
As the new dawn begins.
...

Bills, bills just keep pouring in,
And I don't know where to begin.
I check my account, do I have enough?
Being responsible can be so rough.
...

I've been hurt so many times
That breaking hearts ought to be a crime.
I've been walked on and used before
But I pick myself up and come back for more.
...

I'm like an animal trapped in a cage,
I can feel my anger turning into rage.
I have to break on out and get loose,
Before my neck gets caught in a noose.
...

I see the glow shine from your face
How I long for your warm embrace.
I miss your smile and your gentle touch
We've shared so little but shared so much.
...

Every time you turn around,
there's always someone there.
Anytime you feel on your own,
there is someone who'll care.
...

When I look at you, I know how I feel.
The love I have for you is so real.
I need you with me every passing day,
In your life is where I want to stay.
