Nothing is ever easy
But sometimes there are extremes
The elements of nightmares
You won’t find in your dreams
It’s not always that dramatic
Sometimes the heat just grows
Pretty soon you’re burning
And those around don’t know
And still you grin and bear it
A smile for all to see
But inside your soul is crying
And your body wants to flee
That’s when you must dig deeper
And find what’s in your heart
It’s time for starting over
And today’s the day you start
About the poem Digging Deeper
The poem Digging Deeper is about those times when life is overwhelming. You try to put on a smiling face and act like everything is fine when you are screaming inside. Most of us have been there at some point in our lives. And it’s not a competition, so one person’s breaking point is not the same for someone else. Thinking you should be able to handle things is not enough. It may not be possible.
That said, at this point you aren’t at the end, you are at the beginning. Once the house falls down, you don’t have to worry about keeping it together. But this isn’t the end of the story. Don’t live in this moment for too long. It’s time for starting over. You are stronger then you think, and there is more to life waiting for you.
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.
