What’s the dream within your heart
That spark down in your soul
It’s there you must focus
This is to be your goal
What will it take to get there
Will you do what few must do
Following your direction
That in your heart is true
We all have a calling
For service to God and man
It is part of our duty
To do the best we can
We may not see completion
But that’s no reason not to start
We need to make it happen
This dream we are a part
Sacred Poem: Make It Happen
The second to last weekend in September is Gold Star Family weekend. Around the country there are events to remember and honor members of the military that have lost their lives as a result of their service. Each year I try to honor as many of these families as I can with poems.
Make It Happen is written for the family of Petty Officer 1st Class Jason Workman who died August 6, 2011. He was with SEAL Team 6 who came to rescue the men in Afghanistan profiled in the book and movie – Lone Survivor. He died from injuries when the helicopter he was in was shot down.
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.
