One thing is for certain
the weather is going to change
Making each day different
As our lives do rearrange

A passing storm won’t linger
It appears and then it’s gone
A subtle interruption
And then we carry on

The storm can provide drama
And colors to behold
It sometimes brings us closer
With stories often told

We are quick to welcome sunshine
But we also need the rain
To remind us to be grateful
And to wash away the pain

About the Poem – The Passing Storm

The poem The Passing Storm is about how life and death are a lot like the weather. We need to be grateful for the sunshine but also need to know that the rain is an important part of our reality. Each has it’s own purpose.

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.
