We never know the future
Because it isn’t guaranteed
It’s the fine print in the contract
That few of us do read

We plan to do tomorrow
So many things we dream
There’s never time to do them
Or that’s the way it seems

We all have twenty-four hours
And seven days a week
But somehow it gets filled up
By things that we don’t seek

So much pushed to tomorrow
Though not promised in any way
It serves as a reminder
To make the most of every day

About the Poem Not Promised

The poem Not Promised is about our future and how none of it is promised. We all know people that had plans they never got to experience. Sometimes it is by choice, but most of the time it isn’t. Still we tend to go through life acting as if tomorrow is something we can schedule with 100% confidence. Take time to do those things today, that you might have put off to tomorrow. Take a walk with someone. Call an old friend. Play with your children or grandchildren. Paint a picture. Write a book. Insert your things here__________________.

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.
