Somewhere in the distance
Echoing through the hills
A sound that breaks the silence
Is bound to give you chills

More than just a symbol
Or stories that we’re told
Strength in thought and action
Is an ideal that we hold

Listen you can hear it
A subtle distant roar
A preview of intention
And action yet in store

Always the protector
The guardian of the pride
A reflection of the strength
We each hold deep inside

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.
