We don’t need to go there
But actually, we do
It changes our perspective
On things we thought we knew
Just a little detour
Or perhaps a country drive
Gives us small reminders
It’s good to be alive
One road and then another
Perhaps a path or two
And then stop for a moment
To just take in the view
There’s purpose in the wandering
And that’s not just mere talk
So take time to see it for yourself
And go out for a walk
About the Poem Purposeful Wandering
The poem Purposeful Wandering is about exploring. It’s something most of us don’t do enough of. We take the same road to work each day. We take the fastest route whenever we are going somewhere. Often, that’s all our lives will allow. That’s where we need to make changes. We need that extra time to take detours, walk down pathways, discover waterfalls, explore caves, etc. I had never been to the town we currently live in, but I had gone past it for decades. We quite literally had to go looking for it. But sometimes you find things when you aren’t looking for them. You just have to wander to find them.
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.
