Many who will journey
Never to return
Remembering their homeland
Before it was to burn
Minimal belongings
But memories galore
Of time when things were joyful
Before this time of war
Where will our feet take us
What roads are we to find
Charting new directions
With our home still in our mind
Home is where the heart is
Something we all hope to see
Where we return together
To a country that is free
About this Inspirational Poem
Home is Where the Heart Is – an inspirational poem about the refugees leaving Ukraine. It’s a tragedy of massive proportions. We haven’t seen this many people become refugees in Europe since World War 2. It’s not only hard to image, it’s hard to watch. Many of these people will see their home for the last time. Even if they return, their home may no longer be there. Ukraine is being turned into a wasteland and a collection of mass graves.
It may not be this year or even this decade that people are able to return to Ukraine. Where will these people live and what will they do as the move into makeshift camps and shelters? Thankfully, the European Union has been much more welcoming to the Ukrainian refugees than they have to other groups in the past. Open arms and open homes are greeting many as they cross the border, but there is only so much that adjoining countries can do to handle this level of influx. They are also worrying if they are next. Ukraine does not seem to be the end goal. More likely it is just the first step trying to restore the Soviet Union’s former footprint.
For many home is where the heart is will just be the wishes of a past time. Unless this madness stops, it may be a memory for us all.
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.
