Such a simple formula
A way to see the world
Open to possibilities
With sails just now unfurled

Few can see it clearly
Even less embrace it true
Still it is a truth
We wish the world all knew

Gratitude and wonder
Should guide us one and all
Through days we are successful
And times when we might fall

Take none of it for granted
It makes us who we are
Accept good and bad together
And surely, you’ll go far

About the Poem Gratitude and Wonder

The poem Gratitude and Wonder is really a way to look at the world. If the phrase sounds familiar, it came from Taylor Swift. It’s an interesting combination of approaches. First being grateful for what you have, and second appreciating the magic that exists in the world. The image I picked wasn’t the most beautiful scene I could have because that’s not always how the world works. The scene does have sort of a magical quality to it where it would be extraordinary at other times of the day or year. For now you just have to see the potential. And isn’t that how the world often is.

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.
