Patriotic Poems | 0 |

What is it that drives you
To go where few will go
To take a stance for freedom
That only few will know

What is it that keeps you
Focused on the task
Always moving forward
No one ever has to ask

It’s something that’s inside me
While also far away
A picture in my memory
That I think of every day

You are my motivation
The strength to lead my team
All that I would fight for
And all my hopes and dreams

## 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.
