Patriotic Poems | 0 |

Who will be there for us
When help is needed most
Often there in silence
Never one to boast

Often not acknowledged
Or even shown respect
Until an act of bravery
On which others will reflect

It’s not done with intention
More than just filling a need
Doing what’s required
With precision, calm, and speed

It’s just what they are there for
Serving one and all
Protect and serve with honor
Answering the call

## About the Answering the Call

The poem Answering the Call is about those unsung heroes out there. Many communities’ relationship with police over the past few years has been complicated. So often, the good that police do is overshadowed by negative events. Just like anything, you can’t paint an entire group with the same brush strokes. Most can be relied upon to do what’s necessary, regardless of the cost. They will answer the call to do what is needed.

## 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.
