A handful of nails
Two pieces of wood
The start of a story
That will change us for good

The story itself
Is of sadness and pain
And an end and a beginning
And a cleansing of rain

What would you do
For the people you love
Even if guided
By God above

You know the tale
You know the cost
And what we’ve gained
From what we’ve lost

About the Poem – The Beginning

The poem The Beginning is about the start of Christianity and the crucifixion of Jesus.

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.
