We don’t look for the pattern
Or count them as they drop
We just see the beginning
And know when it does stop
Memories will take us back
To how it was before
We only see the moment
Not all of what’s in store
We think about the flower
And how once it was a seed
Growing towards the sunshine
Without a want or need
Life brought growth and changes
And in the end, you’ve seen it all
But know that it may start again
When we see the petals fall
About the Poem Petals Fall
The poem Petals Fall is about the cycles in nature. The process begins as a seed, growing tall and beautiful. And eventually the petals start to wilt and drop. The flower turns to seed, and the process starts over again. We see this in flowers all the time and don’t give it a second thought. It’s different with people. There is a finality in people we don’t see elsewhere in nature. Maybe that’s not the case. Perhaps we are just like the flowers. We need to think in terms of our seeds and what comes next.
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.
