The moments that we treasure
When time is drawing near
Confronting our emotions
As we embrace our fear

So much left unspoken
The seconds tick away
Sharing the emotions
And words you wish to say

Maybe words aren’t needed
Perhaps they never were
A hug will do most nicely
When strong emotions stir

Hellos are so much easier
You barely have to try
But you don’t really appreciate
Until it’s time for goodbye

About the Poem Until It’s Time

The poem Until it’s Time is about knowing how much time is left in the hourglass and how we will live out our remaining time.

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.
