Service comes in many forms
To those that are in need
Not all heroes wear stripes or bars
Some have collars, paws and leads

From sensing risk and danger
To guarding close their team
Our four legged service partners
Are more than what they seem

How are we to thank them
For their selfless acts each day
Standing ever watchful
Putting themselves first in harm’s way

In truth they live for service
There is no higher call
To protect and keep from harm
Their brothers one and all

About the Poem – Protect and Serve

The poem Protect and Serve was written about military and police working dogs and the commitment they make to their two legged companions.

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.
