The trees have lost their color
The days are dark and gray
Fall is near it’s ending
Winter is not far away

The playground oddly silent
No laughter, fun or games
Not a single answer
When calling out their names

Where is that they went to?
Why have they gone away?
Will they come back again?
To play with us some day

Wait for Mother Nature’s blanket
A reminder sure to show
Of outlines on the playground
Twenty angels in the snow

About the Poem Snow Angels

Snow angels is a poem about the children of the Newtown school shooting.

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.
