Unless you had been there
There are things that you can’t know
Trying to forget memories
But still they often grow

Some things we want behind us
The pain and toil of war
And time with friends and family
We only wish for more

Some of us were lucky
And lived on for many years
Others we said goodbye to
Now washed away with tears

Names are oft forgotten
From memory on our own
That’s why we must honor them
By carving them in stone

The inspirational poem Wall of Tears is written about the Vietnam War memorial.

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.
