We step into the fire
To keep the flames at bay
Fighting well the battle
That greets us every day
Armed with hope and knowledge
Ready for the fight
Making you feel better
So you can sleep at night
Always providing comfort
To all that have a need
Setting the example
Of what it is to lead
As flames fade into cinders
And the smoke begins to clear
We will still be with you
To take away the fear
About This Inspirational Poem
Into the Fire is an inspirational poem about the challenges that nurses (and other healthcare workers) are facing during the Covid 19 pandemic. Most of us catch sound bites on the news but otherwise might not see the direct impact of the virus. At the time of this writing, the three month death toll for the United States is about to surpass our death toll for the entire Vietnam War. As traumatic as that period was on our society, imagine the casualties of 15 years of war from 1960-1975 compressed into 90 days. This is what health care workers are currently dealing with on a daily basis. They are just dealing with bullets that they can’t see.
It’s not a perfect comparison, but most of us haven’t seen anything else like this, on this scale, in our lifetime. i spent 8 years in the military myself so I know the differences. This is not about trying to compare the horrors of war with the horrors of a pandemic. It’s about courage and resilience of those who have had to deal with both.
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.
