Leaves that blow from autumn trees
Prepare the way for winter freeze
To chart the paths of moving time
A cycle plays out nature’s rhyme
Though sometimes leaves do fall in spring
The sound’s an unfamiliar ring
New from buds the leaves they form
They grow amidst the sun so warm
So why do some release their bounds?
And tumble gently towards the ground
To disconnect from what they know
And sacrifice the chance to grow
Only God can know these things
And why he calls for leaves in spring
Perhaps leaves choose to ride the wind
To find some place to start again
About the Poem – Fallen Leaves
The poem Fallen Leaves is about the death of a child and finding ways to move forward. We expect leaves to fall from trees in the end of the year, but we don’t expect them to fall in the beginning when they are just getting started.
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.
