Share your tears and sorrow
And dreams within your heart
Is God’s love near or distant
In things you are apart?

Loss can bring you closer
Or make you turn away
From those who always love you
From birth to dying day

Apart you flail and fumble
Together you stand tall
Sharing brings you closer
For love won’t let you fall

Tragedy can remind you
You never are alone
For God is always with you
All the days you’ve known

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.
