Run with all your passion
Run with all your soul
There is no choice but giving
Lest time will take its toll

It’s all about the journey
The hills that we must climb
The little dips and valleys
That make a life sublime

You can’t enjoy the mountain
Without some scrapes and pain
And you can’t enjoy the sunshine
Without the threat of rain

But races all have endings
Not all have finish lines
The winning comes in knowing
That all of you are fine

About the Poem – Winning the Race

Winning the race is an inspirational poem about cancer by Robert Longley. There are many levels of winning. Sometimes it’s just knowing your family is fine.

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.
