Build for me a memory
One day at a time
Sing me songs and teach me things
And read me nursery rhymes

Every day is important
A lifetime dawn to dusk
Each moment needs a picture
To you I will entrust

How old does someone have to be
To change the world we know
To be an example to others
In the courage that we show

I don’t yet have the answer
Perhaps not meant to be
But now you have a memory
Of the life you shared with me

About the Poem Memories

The poem Memories is about the joy of a baby quickly turning to sorrow and learning to enjoy every moment of a short life.

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.
