It is there from the beginning
When first the cells divide
A spark of inspiration
Growing deep inside

In it is direction
The sum of hopes and dreams
Perfect in execution
The milk that’s topped with cream

Not unlike a seed
Before it breaks its shell
Like an unopened book
The story yet to tell

There you find potential
And it’s companion choice
These are the ingredients
To find your inner voice

About the Poem Potential

The poem Potential is about what always exists inside of us. An acorn always has the potential to be a mighty oak. We also have potential to be and do things, but it’s usually less obvious than the oak tree.

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.
