When you look in the mirror
Who is it that you see
A girl stuck in the present
Or a woman soon to be
Will your dreams support you
Or crumble at your feet
Will you have the confidence
To face each challenge that you meet
Sometimes things elude us
Through forces we can’t see
Creating fear and doubt
Where neither needs to be
Nothing is impossible
It’s just as yet not done
For all women still becoming
The day will soon be won
About the Poem A Woman Becoming
A Woman Becoming is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley. The idea originally came from a comment made by Oprah Winfrey, but it may have actually come from Michele Obama, I tend to write things that are responses to statements or events and I just take it in whatever direction it wants to go. I’m not sure if it matches the original context, but I suspect there is a connection. This was written before the current presidential election (2020) and wasn’t written with that in mind, but I think that Kamala Harris becoming our next Vice President is a great example of a woman becoming. Hopefully many more girls will see that anything is possible.
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.
