There are those that would extinguish
The light that God has made
And interrupt our journey
And all the plans we laid

There are those that would take our spirit
And make us feel such pain
To wash away the progress
And years of hopes and gain

We must all stand united
Against these common foes
Together we stay standing
Amidst the threats and blows

We owe it to the fallen
That their voices still be heard
That love is still the answer
We just have to spread the word

About the Poem Spread the Word

The poem Spread the Word is written for the people of Charleston and the members of the Emanual AMA Church dealing with tragedy.

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.
