Just past the horizon
The colors start to change
Waking from our slumber
To a day we must arrange
Start each day with purpose
As a painter with a brush
Savoring each moment
Trying to avoid the rush
So many distractions
Will try to fill your day
You find yourself embattled
When things get in your way
Catch the light each morning
And hold it to your heart
Controlling from the beginning
With each day that you start
About The Poem Catch the Light
Catch the Light is an inspirational poem about taking control of your day and your life. It’s not just the first light of the day, but it is also the opportunity that light holds for all that you do. It’s sort of a metaphor but there’s also a lot of truth in it. Start your day with intention. Your day will fill with other people’s agendas if you don’t do it yourself. Plan as much of your day as you can and make room for yourself. Don’t just schedule your time with work. Be sure to include exercise, relaxation, journaling, art, whatever makes you happy. If you don’t make time for these things, you will quickly find your day filled with things that other people want you to do. Catch the light and let it fill your day.
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.
