About Me
- Jon Ward
- I grew up on a family farm near Snowville, Utah, learning a lot about work, character, loyalty. After graduating from Malad High School, where I studied when I absolutely had to do that unbearable thing, I followed my sweetheart to BYU, the only reason an Aggie would do something like that. High school memories were of playing sports, especially football. And I played baritone sax--first in high school bands, All-State groups and finally university symphonic and jazz bands.
Favorite Advice From My Dad
- Character means remembering who you are, regardless where you may be or who might be with you.
- Look both ways before you cross a street.
- It's better sometimes to bear the pain than the shame.
- You must always be bound by your word.
- The bigger they are the harder they fall.
- Never do business with someone who tells you how holy they are before they make the sale.
- People don't need to know your business. When those, who don't like you, hear that things are going well, it is upsetting to them, and if they hear that things are going badly, it delights them. Don't give them the satisfaction.
- Don't brag!
- Plant wheat when the moon is growing.
- Always avoid filling a large fuel tank during the heat of the day.
- Be a 100 percenter!
- Two "wrongs" never make a "right."
- Children are to be seen and not heard.
- Choose a mark in the distance, work toward it and keep your wheelmarks straight.
- Don't do anything that will damage the good name generations of honest men have given you.
- Always buy a car with a full frame.
- Don't ever be a quitter!
- Don't race the horses, but don't lose either.
- Don't take any wooden nickles.
- Hit all of them to get the right one.
- If you offend someone for good reason, find out exactly what you did or said, so you can do it the same way next time.
- If it's not worth doing well, it's not worth doing.
- If someone hits you, hit them in the nose, and if they get up for more, hit them until they stay down.
- If you come home with a scab on the end of your nose, you have to show me the scabs on your knuckles.
- It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as stupid than saying something and not leaving anything to doubt.
- Some married couples deserve each other; there's no point in ruining two more lives.
- The secret to a successful marriage is letting her think she's boss when she really isn't.
- There are no shortcuts to doing the job the right way.
- There comes a time when the only solution is telling someone to kiss your ass.
- There's more than one way to skin a cat.
- You can draw more bees with honey than you can with vinegar.
- You can scratch your backside, but you don't have to make it bleed.

a poem for my wife--sweetheart, friend, lover
if my life should pass like sand through a child's cupped hands
and i should leave
know that my last thought was of you
and when that time comes
visit me in your dreams at night
let memories take you
to a distant mountain hollow
a sanctuary of sage and cedar where spring offers birth
to summer grasses that ebb and flow
like waves of an inland sea
driven by the breath of night winds
and when you are there
and i should leave
know that my last thought was of you
and when that time comes
visit me in your dreams at night
let memories take you
to a distant mountain hollow
a sanctuary of sage and cedar where spring offers birth
to summer grasses that ebb and flow
like waves of an inland sea
driven by the breath of night winds
and when you are there
in that place
press your face against pale moonlight
savor scent of sage
taste musk of breeze
and when gentle gusts brush hair from your eyes
know i am there
savoring the touch and scent of your hair
my lips against your forehead
my love cradling your face in my hands
wishing to comfort you
hoping to brush away tears
that sparkle like gems in the night sky
but stars offer neither warmth
nor comfort
amid the blanket of darkness of this winter night
so remember in that lonely heartbeat of time
you were
you are
you always will be the love of my life
and will remain so
long after heavenly lights
sizzle and vanish into the void
because a new morning will come
when i will call your name
and take you in my arms
before we walk toward eternal spring
side by side and hand in hand
press your face against pale moonlight
savor scent of sage
taste musk of breeze
and when gentle gusts brush hair from your eyes
know i am there
savoring the touch and scent of your hair
my lips against your forehead
my love cradling your face in my hands
wishing to comfort you
hoping to brush away tears
that sparkle like gems in the night sky
but stars offer neither warmth
nor comfort
amid the blanket of darkness of this winter night
so remember in that lonely heartbeat of time
you were
you are
you always will be the love of my life
and will remain so
long after heavenly lights
sizzle and vanish into the void
because a new morning will come
when i will call your name
and take you in my arms
before we walk toward eternal spring
side by side and hand in hand

Um... did I really say, "What do you got in your hands?" Yikes, that's embarrassing. I hope you had a nice birthday, Dad.
This is the best birthday present you could have sent! It made me smile, knowing what cute grandkids I have and how fun it will be at Disneyland in a few weeks. I hope the time in the land of palm trees goes slower than it usually does.
