All of them are numbered
Some short and others long
We don’t know which will be our fate
Or which path is right or wrong
Will we make a difference
Will the future know our name
Or will we go unnoticed
Leaving the world much the same
It’s all about intention
And the choices that we make
Clinging close to safety
Or risks that we might take
And so the clock is ticking
As time does slip away
Building memories for others
Throughout our stretch of days
About the poem Our Stretch of Days
The poem Our Stretch of Days is about how we think about our lives. Most of us don’t know how long we are going to live. We have a general idea, but we tend to go about our business as if there is no end. If we have any degree of enlightenment, we probably think about why we are here. What are we supposed to do, and are we doing it? We may know the answer, but hopefully it is something that others we connect with are able to benefit from.
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.
