A workshop laid before us
Materials and tools
The passion of a carpenter
And a simple set of rules
We choose the direction
For the world that we create
Discovering our purpose
And a power that is great
Will we build a castle
Or houses just for the birds
Will we work in silence
Or speak to share God’s words
Together we can offer love
To a world so much in need
Where with every act of kindness
We plant another seed
About the Poem Building a Better World
The poem Building a Better World is about our life’s work. We all come into this world the same. Aside from the quantity of things like money, we all have access to the same basic elements of knowledge, opportunity, and in most cases resources. Sure there are differences in wealth and access, but someone who starts from nothing is no less likely to be a success than someone who’s life was presented to them on a silver platter. Actually, in most cases, those with more resources might live a very comfortable life, but chances are they aren’t going to build a better world in the process. It’s almost a disincentive when you have everything to start with. When you start with very little and you can see the opportunities around you, chances are you are open to new ideas and a desire to build a better world with the time you have 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.
