Vacant looks and muffled cries
The smoke is thick and burns your eyes
And still the heroes continue higher
In search of those now trapped by fire
A woman stumbles on the stair
A helping hand is quickly there
“Keep on moving” comes the shout
We have to get these people out
Another floor and more are freed
And still they climb to those in need
Their hands reach out to everyone
To help their brothers reach the sun
Higher now, the smoke soon clears
There is no dust, there is no fear
It’s there with pride these heroes stand
And one by one they take God’s hand

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.
