A common bond that joins us
A purpose we do share
Standing strong together
And showing that we care

Through times of grace and glory
And also pain and loss
We think about the good times
And reminisce about the cost

Our paths are joined for all time
With all who came before
Protecting the ideas we live for
That hope may be restored

And so we band of brothers
The few that still survive
Share our remaining stories
To keep memories alive

About the Poem We Band of Brothers

The poem We Band of Brothers was written to remember the 4,426 Allied soldiers and sailors that gave their lives on this D-Day 80 years ago. Less than 1% of the survivors are still alive. This is likely to be the last service in Normandy with living survivors in attendance. Soon all will have our their stories, but that’s how we keep them alive. The title is thanks to William Shakespeare in a speech from Henry V.

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.
