Regardless of the danger
Or threat to life or limb
There’s nothing that can stop me
From simply diving in
Part of it is duty
A commitment just to serve
And treating life as special
It’s what each of us deserves
We hope for the best outcome
But sometimes we come up short
Where trying doesn’t get it done
And we take the path of last resort
We always do the best we can
But sometimes people die
Know that no matter what the cost
I will always try
About The Poem I Will Always Try

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.
