My childhood unraveled
With a threat to wear a star
But fortune found my family
With a call from afar
A ladies torch would greet us
With a promise to be free
Knowing my home was gone forever
Back across the sea
Through the years came children
And they in turn brought more
I couldn’t have imagined years ago
The joys I’d have in store
The land of opportunity
At least it was for me
To live and raise a family
Where people can live free
About the Poem My American Dream
My American Dream is about a woman I’ve known all my life. She has an amazing story which began with her family fleeing Germany in the 1930s. She served in the U.S. military, raised a family, and was an important fixture in the community for years. She will be missed.
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.
