Take away my power
Take away my life
Take away my dreams
To be a mother and a wife

But what is it you’ve taken
What is it you’ve earned
Is your world now better
With the lesson’s that you’ve learned

Hear the crowds now chanting
My power has been released
It now lives on forever
Even though my life has ceased

Others will be stronger
Others will be free
And now the world is watching
From what was done to me

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.
