Life is but a tapestry
Or actually a quilt
Assembling life’s pieces
Avoiding pain and guilt

Trying to see the patterns
And going with the flow
Exploring new directions
And finding ways to grow

Racing towards the boundaries
It’s really quite a feat
Proud of the accomplishments
And seeing life complete

In the end the pieces fit
A treasure to be shared
A symbol of my life and love
For all of those I cared

About The Poem – The Final Piece

The poem The Final Piece is about a friend of mine’s wife and her battle with cancer. The quilts she made were as much something to be proud of as they were memories to leave with those she 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.
