Each of us has potential
To be a gift for some
You need not know the future
Or events that may soon come

Just being there is crucial
In person or in thought
You may be just the key
To help those feeling wrought

Our present is our presence
The time and space we share
The process of connecting
Is how we show we care

Together we make memories
Shared by many or just two
This can be the key to joy
That we wish the world all knew

About the Poem A Wonderful Gift

The poem A Wonderful Gift is about friendship and was inspired by the friendship of Bishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness The Dalai Lama. There is a documentary about them on Netflix that I would definitely recommend. We always impact those around us. It’s up to us to determine how. If we chose to live in joy, it can be a gift for those around us. It might impact just one person, or it may impact the entire planet.

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.
