At times we make decisions
That set us on a path
Not towards milk and honey
But more like grapes of wrath
A chance to do things different
To just roll back the clock
Erase the words now spoken
That seem now carved in rock
The challenge is with hindsight
You always see the fault
And know where things went sideways
Where you could have made it halt
Now you search for answers
To questions hard to ask
As you chart a new direction
The first of many tasks
About the Poem – The First of Many
The First of Many is a poem about the first of many choices that you may make in your life.
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.
