Another way of viewing
Or stepping into shoes
Seeing another perspective
Whichever way you choose
In ways a shared connection
Across the bounds of space
Acknowledging the challenges
That others offer face
Empathy is simple
When we see with just our heart
Reminded we are connected
And never far apart
We cannot share their challenge
Or take away their pain
But maybe offer sunshine
During their times of rain
About the Poem Empathy
The poem Empathy is about how we should approach the world. We need to step into other people’s shoes. When they are experiencing pain or challenges, we can’t share it for them or even improve the situation many times. But we can let them know that we care. Sometimes that is enough to make a difference.
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.
