The stations of the compass
We know them all by name
Each of them is different
But also much the same

Together there’s direction
Or four as the case may be
Where will each one journey
I guess we’ll wait and see

North is cool and focused
South is warm and bright
East welcomes the morning
And West does chase the night

Possibilities are endless
The journey now does start
The compass that you carry
Is the one within your heart

About the Poem Your Compass

The poem Your Compass is about finding your direction as you go out into the world. This was actually written for my oldes daughter and three of her friends when she graduated from high school. Each one a different point of the compass.

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.
