I know this time you missed me
It’s the first of many more
No one could have known what
The day would have in store

So unfair in many ways
Such pain and hurt and strife
A day of celebration
Now marred with loss of life

So now you have a mission
Your feet will take you far
The race becomes a symbol
And you become its star

So gather up your courage
And though it’s not the same
I’ll be waiting at the finish
And yelling out your name

About the Poem – I’ll Be Waiting

Ill Be Waiting is an inspirational poem about an Olympic athlete who’s grandfather died a few days before his big race.

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.
