You may not have seen it
Though the wall was there before
Would you treat things differently
If you knew what was in store
Questions you may be asking
When nothing would have changed
It’s just a slight adjustment
With your life now rearranging
The pain will last a while
But then just let it go
You are feeling somewhat broken
Yet this is where you grow
The wall was not to stop you
But to point you somewhere new
Reminding you of your purpose
And the things that you must do
About the Poem Hitting the Wall
The poem Hitting the Wall is about any unexpected life event that changes where you were going. It was originally for one person who lost their job recently, but that was quickly followed by the Twitter massacre. 3700 people just had their lives turned upside down. Is it a bad thing? It is definitely hard, but bad and hard aren’t always the same thing. Just because you reach the end of one road, doesn’t mean you can’t go further. You just need to look in another direction. Many people stare at the wall and wonder why. Others will pick up their stuff and go in a different direction. That’s why walls are there. It’s not to stop you from moving forward, it’s to put you in the right direction.
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.
