For some, there is no answer
Though many will still ask
What will give them purpose
What is their chosen task

We go about our business
Just checking off the squares
Responding to others’ choices
Just because we are there

Choice seems sometimes absent
Like we are actors in a play
We only see the script for us
In pieces every day

But someone must be the writer
It might as well be you
Chances are, you are where you belong
To do what you must do

About the Poem Where I Belong

The poem Where I Belong is about asking that eternal question, “Where do I belong?” It’s an elusive question for most people. We get caught up in our daily activities and are left wondering if we are even in control many times. Sometimes you have to step back from your daily life and see how things are flowing. Are you controlling things, or are you being controlled? It’s not always easy to do, but at some point, we need to become the writer of our own script. We are all following a script. So we might as well be the one writing it.

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.
