It’s right there in the pictures
The answer that you seek
The pieces of your story
And things no one will speak

Snapshots with perspective
A single point of view
It depends whether you are taking
Or if taking is of you

There’s truth there in the photos
And also many lies
We need to consult memory
Lest we only trust our eyes

So what is it we’re seeing
What was, or what could be
Depends who takes the picture
Was it you, or was it me?

About the Poem – Perspective

The poem perspective is about whether you are taking the pictures of your life or actually in them.

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.
