Stop to watch
The stars at night
They move so slow
Yet burn so bright

Constant silent sentinels
And their ever watchful eyes
They see the change of seasons
And lives just passing by

Every night forever
Their journey marches on
Not unlike the memories
Of those of us now gone

So next time in the darkness
You see your favorite star
Know I’m never stopping
Just watching from a far

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.
