Rarely will you see me
I’m often far away
Rarely will you know me
And for that each day I pray
I don’t want to be a hero
I don’t want to make the news
I just want to preserve us
And the choices that we choose
Maybe you’ll forget me
I hope that’s not true
It would make it all the harder
To do what I must do
And when the mission’s over
I plan on coming back
It would be nice if you were waiting
To help me get my life back on track
About the Poem What I Want
The poem What I want is about a soldier’s wish for returning home and struggling to reintegrate into normal life.
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.
