Amidst the anger, pain and hate
In a lonely corridor I wait
To say hello or say goodbye
To friends I see now passing by
It’s not the same I’m just a blur
They only speak of me as her
I walk these halls both day and night
Though just a shadow out of sight
Time will pass and memories fade
You’ll soon be gone, but here I stayed
A memory of gentler times
Of lullabies and nursery rhymes
When graduation comes to pass
And before you say goodbye to class
Don’t forget I’m always there
So save for me an empty chair
About The Poem Empty Chair
The empty chair is about a girl who was killed in high school and still wanted a chair for her at graduation
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.
