Friendly and inviting
The ducks call out your name
To watch the morning sunrise
You’ll never be the same

The mountains gently cradle
The water from both sides
Lovingly embraced
As if with a sense of pride

Many enjoy its beauty
Its majesty and charm
But we also should protect it
And keep it safe from harm

We owe it to our future
To honor well the past
And pass on this noble beauty
As something that should last

About the Poem The Lake

The Lake is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley about Lake George.  It could just as easily be about any lake.  Even on vacation I manage to get up early.   This picture had me up around 5:30 to get this picture.  It is quiet except for the ducks who seem to have a lot to say at that time of the morning.  The southern end of the lake is pretty commercial, but the northern end is much more in touch with nature.

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.
