Sometimes the line of fire
Or just standing for what’s right
A single shining examples
That brighten up the night
It’s never about glory
Or trying to make your mark
It’s about stopping an inferno
While it’s still only a spark
Sometimes there is sacrifice
Other times a miracle of luck
When the normal process of the universe
Somehow manages to get stuck
We put them on a pedestal
But that’s not where they want to be
They would do the same again
Even if no one could know or see
About the Poem Real Courage
Real Courage is about making a difference in the world. The world is full of heroes. Some of them wear uniforms. Some mow lawns for the elderly. Others refuse to give up their seat on a bus. Some are raised up on on a pedestal, others pay for their gesture with their freedom or even their lives. We need them both for their direct contributions and for the example they set for others. Some people will be more intentional in the imitation of their heroes, and the magic spreads. There’s plenty of real courage in the world. One act can inspire others. They may not live up to the original gesture, but they still can make the world a better place.
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.
