The day does offer promise
A chance for something new
Time for new direction
To make a change or two

This burst of inspiration
Does come but once a year
A time for something different
And hopes that change is near

How will you use this moment
What will you choose to change
What aspect of your story
Are you poised to rearrange

In truth it’s just illusion
It’s not about the day
It’s how you view the future
And challenge in your way

About The Poem – A New Year

A new year is the start of goal setting or a chance for a do over in the new year.   It’s a wake-up call for many people and unfortunately it also leads to a lot of activities like gym memberships that are at best short lived.  New years is a bit of an artificial construct in its meaning.  At best it is a time to reflect and evaluate our current direction and see what changes we should make.

Inspirational Poetry Books

Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products

While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
