A town to start a nation
A spirit meant to lead
So much growth and progress
But still sometimes we bleed

Almost from the beginning
From many became one
A city built a country
Amidst the shining sun

Again we have known sorrow
A blow straight to our heart
That brings us back together
To a place where dreams can start

So remember those we’re missing
And wipe away your tears
And remember this is Boston
And let our voices cheer

About the Poem – We Are One

We are one is an inspirational poem about the Boston Marathon bombing.  This was a difficult day for my family but clearly not as difficult as for others.  We just couldn’t locate our daughter for several hours because there were things going on elsewhere along the race route.  If you weren’t watching the news or social media, a lot of the people celebrating Marathon Monday didn’t know what had happened until sometime later.   The subsequent college lock downs and eventual evacuation as SWAT teams cleared all buildings in the area made for some powerful freshman year memories.

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.
