Pushing to the limits
And then a little more
Preparing for the challenge
That may still be in store

We may not anticipate
The toll that things might take
But this is the commitment
That we did choose to make

And so we keep on going
The challenge drives us on
We would do this anyway
Even when the competition is gone

This example of endurance
Is the bar we chose to set
An ongoing reminder
That we aren’t quite there yet

About the Poem Endurance

Endurance is an inspirational poem about pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones. This is where we grow. Pushing ourselves if rarely about competing with others. It is usually more likely about competing with ourselves. By challenging ourselves it allows us to move beyond what we believe is possible. There are lots of challenges in the world today. It is really easy to retreat into our shells and hope the storm passes, but this is not going to help anyone. We need to step up and do what we can do to be our best self.

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.
