Cold does not describe it
An eerie silent march
Frozen water all around you
And still you’re feeling parched

Footsteps quickly give way
To just a frozen road
A path blazed by many men
Each with a heavy load

Many would begin the journey
Few would reach the end
Others still would follow
As reinforcements we would send

Some would never see the spring
But some would live to tell the tale
Of men who would do anything
To make sure we don’t fail

About the Poem A Walk in the Woods

The poem A Walk in the Woods is about the soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Bulge between December 16, 1944 and January 25, 1945. Over 700,000 allied troops were involved in the battle. Over 10% didn’t survive. Many froze to death. It was the last big push by the German army.

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.
