Some may not discover
Others always know
There’s a higher purpose waiting
That’s there to help us grow

Not always grand and noble
Sometimes just simple gifts
A trinket in your pocket
And spirits it might lift

It’s there you see the smile
A twinkle in the eye
Those magical sweet moments
That slows time going by

It’s how we treat each other
That brings our higher purpose out
Finding ways to make the world better
Is what life is really all about

About the Poem A Higher Purpose

The Poem A Higher Purpose was written for the family of Army 1st Lt. Noah Harris who died June 18, 2005 Serving During Operation Iraqi Freedom

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.
