No one wants to be there
It can be dark as night
But when things are the darkest
You can finally see the light

There down at the bottom
The lowest of the lows
Up is the only option
For anything to grow

So now that you’ve been there
You know you did survive
And have a new perspective
On what it is to be alive

Oh this beautiful bottom
That few do get to see
Frees us from our limits
And shows possibilities

About the Poem The Beautiful Bottom

The poem The Beautiful Bottom is about being at your lowest point. Bad things happen to good people. It may be illness, addiction, a bad decision, or an accident. There’s a saying that the first step to get out of a hole is to stop digging. It’s not always true, but it’s usually a good start even if you had nothing to do with the circumstances. Stop what you are doing and realize where you. No one wants to be there, but there you are. So what are you going to do? You may not have had any choice in the events leading up to this situation, but you have a choice now. When you are at the bottom, everything else is up. So take the first step and start moving in that direction.

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.
