No is never final
A goal can’t be contained
For those who have a purpose
And momentum has been gained

A body set in motion
With energy in store
Keeps on moving forward
Always wanting more

Where does the idea come from
A seed that’s meant to grow
Or maybe it’s the future
With something it must show

Perhaps it doesn’t matter
For those driven to a task
They will gladly do it anyway
You don’t even have to ask

About the Poem The Driven

The poem The Driven is about those of us who never take no for an answer. It’s about that idea that pushes us forward even if we don’t know exactly why we are doing it. We sometimes question why we are doing things, but know that we would do it even if there weren’t external reasons. What is something you are driven to do?

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.
