Everything I taught you
Everything you know
I don’t think I could be prouder
At the chance to watch you grow

Every father wishes
To leave part of himself
In actions and in stories
And pictures on a shelf

We want to create a legacy
To those we leave behind
And know they will be stronger
When strength they need to find

In the end we are all memories
That hopefully are shared
Reminding those we love the most
Of just how much we cared

About The Poem Every Father’s Wish

The poem Every Father’s Wish is about a father’s final thoughts. We’d like to think we leave our children with lessons, values and a few stories. Most importantly we hope we left them knowing they were loved.

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.
