Cry and I will hear you
Scream and I’ll be there
When flames and smoke surround you
And fear is in the air

You may never know me
You needn’t know my name
For we all act as brothers
So to you we’re all the same

They say we run towards danger
When others run away
And times when someone needs us
That’s where we’re going to stay

At times we aren’t successful
And destiny we find
But you will still know us
By the marks we leave behind

The poem The Marks We Leave Behind is about a group of firefighters that lost their lives in Worchester, Massachusetts.

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.
