I’m thinking of a story
I’m not sure how it goes
But soon I hope I’ll hear it
And when I do I’ll know

Adventures of a young man
Who found the water faire
And left his home in search of fame
When the smell of gold was in the air

You’ve probably never heard this tale
His name escapes me too
But maybe if we talk awhile
You might find out it’s you

It’d make for a good story
One I probably ought to write
Perhaps we ought to sit a spell
And write it down tonight

About the Poem Let Me Tell You a Story

The poem Let Me Tell You a Story is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley about traveling on the Mississippi. It’s something Mark Twain might have written if he was still with us.

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.
