Focused on the future
Always trying to grow
Even when there’s challenge
Never letting go

Rethink, regroup, whatever
You’re going to find a way
Always finding options
To the challenge of the day

Always pushing forward
Towards the goal you have in mind
Making course corrections
Based on things that you may find

This ongoing persistence
Makes you who you are
Despite all the challenges
Knowing you’ll go far

About the Poem Persistence

The poem Persistence is about never giving up on a dream. You ignore the obstacles in your way and just keep moving forward. It’s not an individual instance, it is how you approach most things. Continuing beyond where most people would have given up. It makes you who you are. Eventually this persistence is likely to turn into something that has long term implications.

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.
