Central to your vision
There for all to see
Pain and possibilities
Of journeys yet to be

It’s not meant to be easy
It’s something of a test
We all need a little challenge
To help bring out our best

The summit is a symbol
As much as it is real
Connecting with a purpose
And helping us to feel

Will you climb it privately
Or share in public view
It really makes no difference
Because the challenge is for you

About the Poem The Summit

The poem The Summit is about the challenges in front of us. Some are obvious challenges but we need to choose whether we will accept them or not. We may want to take on our challenge with the world watching, or we may want to do it privately. It doesn’t matter. The challenges are for us alone.

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.
