Sometimes things are different
Than how we dreamed they’d be
Bright future full of options
And all the world to see

Memories of smiling faces
Looking up at you
And so much in the future
You wish that you could do

And so you journey forward
And do what fills your soul
Knowing that there is a chance
That you might pay the toll

Risk is there in everything
So why not just be bold
And do things you are proud of
For good stories to be told

About the Poem Good Stories

The poem Good Stories is an inspirational poem is for the family of Jame Kesinger who died December 13, 2005 Serving During Operation Iraqi Freedom. If you are going to do something, do things that people will tell stories about. These are the things that keep us alive long after we are gone.

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.
