They are not faceless uniforms
I know each one by name
To some we may look different
But inside we’re all the same

A special breed of soldier
With mettle cast in fire
Fueled with love of country
To serve is our desire

In truth a single purpose
This call we have to serve
And give total commitment
And respect we all deserve

You think of them as soldiers
They’re more – they are marines
But for me they are my brothers
And forever are my team

About the Poem My Team

My team is an inspirational poem written for the family of 1st. Lt. Ronald Winchester who was killed in Iraq in 2004

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.
