When through the act of circumstance
A life’s course is changed
We simply must find what’s important
As our world is rearranged
We are not the limits
The physical world defines
Change is only truly present
When we see it in our mind
Some times we find our greatness
When in our darkest days
Learning what is possible
When we think in other ways
In the end we overcome
And we learn to serve again
Discovering our true calling
As a new life does begin
Sacred Poem: To Serve Again
Sooner or later most of our lives are derailed. Maybe it is as simple as losing a job, or maybe it is more profound such as a permanent injury. They are all just obstacles that we have to found our way around. There is no challenge too large that it can not be overcome.
This inspirational poem was written about New York City Detective Steven McDonald who was shot and paralyzed in Central Park in 1986. He never recovered the use of his limbs following his injury. Steven spent the next 30 years speaking and and spreading a message of peace from his wheelchair. Steven suffered a heart attack and died on January 10, 2017.
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.
