What is it you’re lacking
What is it you have
Are your cupboards barren
Or do you bear the fatted calf
So much the accounting
By things that take up space
But this is not the measure
That defines the human race
Are there those of value
Who brighten up your day
Has someone shown you kindness
Or helped you on your way
It’s there that we find gratitude
It’s there our worries cease
For where we know what matters
It’s there that we find peace
Sacred Poem: Giving Thanks
The inspirational poem Giving Thanks by Robert Longley was posted on Thanksgiving day but it really applies to every day. Giving thanks is about taking inventory of what you have in your life and what’s really important and giving thanks for it. We try to take inventory based on material things but it really is the things you can’t put a price on that have the most meaning. It may be the people closest to you or maybe a total stranger that made a difference in your life. Ultimately the greatest gift we can receive is to be happy in a world that is free of worry. This is the basis of peace for all of us.
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.
