We often overlook it
Though it stares us in the face
There is no flashing neon
Or a signal from outer space
The message couldn’t be clearer
But only a few will hear
The voice that gives direction
And tells us not to fear
But yet it goes unnoticed
We are conditioned not to see
The potential that’s inside us
And what we’re meant to be
So accept this gentle message
A reminder, if you will
All you need is in you
And waiting for you still
About the Poem A Gentle Message
The poem A Gentle Message is about how most of the messages that are meant for us don’t whack us in the face. They are subtle, and in this noisy, busy world, they often go unnoticed. This is why it is important to pay attention. Most people have an aha moment at some point, but it’s usually because they start listening.
Think of life like an escape room. There are clues around you that will help you get out of the room. It’s one thing when we are told that, but that is the world we live in. We aren’t given specific instructions, so we don’t see it that way. Start looking for the gentle messages that show up in your life. They are there for a reason, and you are supposed to act on them. Don’t worry if it doesn’t make any sense. Life only makes sense looking backwards. And even then, it may be hard to explain to someone how you got from point A to point B. It shouldn’t have happened but it did. And it happened because you paid attention to the gentle messages in your life.
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.
