What is it you value
What is it you need
What is your direction
And advice that you may heed

Is it all external
Perceptions one and all
A crumbling set of values
Soon destined for to fall

Strength is not external
Its power lives inside
Guiding us through challenge
And rewarding us with pride

Don’t look out for answers
That isn’t where they lie
You are your own true compass
Because to do there is no try

About the Poem Insecurity

The poem Insecurity is about how we are insecure and look for validation from many outside sources.

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.
