All of you are welcome
The gates are open wide
There is no need to hurry
Or rush to get inside
While I am free to enter
I stand guard at the gate
Welcoming my brothers
Who too often share my fate
It truly is an honor
To welcome those who pass
Acknowledging their courage
And give them peace at last
We each share a commitment
To our country and the Corps
In this life and what follows
It is worth fighting for

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.
