We never know exactly
How a seed will grow
Will it suffer challenge
Or talents might it show

What are we to wish for
What dream are we to share
The direction they will grow in
And if we will be there to share

We know it won’t be easy
But life so rarely is
We just need to be there
With a gentle hug and kiss

We just need to give it water
And room to see the sun
As we sit back and marvel
At the life that has begun

About the Poem The Life That Has Begun

The poem The Life That Has Begun could be about our children or even our ideas. We don’t know how they are going grow and turn out. We always have ideas about how things are going to turn out, but in the end we just have to go along for the ride. Guiding and supporting where we can, and marveling at what has been created.

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.
