Gather round my family
One more time for me
Celebrate the season
As you light the Christmas tree

The branches need the tinsel
The tree still needs a star
And stockings need their rightful place
For family near and far

It’s more than just a gesture
Or motions you go through
It’s all part of this special time
That we show in what we do

So set the family china
Put the star upon the tree
And know that special twinkle
Reflects your love for me

About the Poem – The Light of Christmas

The Light of Christmas is a poem I wrote for my step sister who lost her battle with cancer just before Christmas.

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.
