It’s not that you can see them
The pain is kept inside
The hearts you have are broken
From all the nights you’ve cried
Time to share their stories
And let their spirits free
You’re carrying the potential
Of who they were to be
It’s such a heavy burden
It’s something to be shared
You’re holding on to something
And inside you all are scared
Each of you has something
Another also needs
Share this time together
And perhaps you’ll plant some seeds
About the Poem Hearts in Pieces
The poem Hearts in Pieces was written for Gold Star Mothers and Family Weekend which has been held every last Sunday in September since 1936. In past years I have written individual poems for families attending some of the services, but this year I was asked by Army staff organizing this in South Carolina to write one poem for all the families. It applies to Gold Star families everywhere. It can be difficult to know what to do with your grief. Sharing stories of loved one is a good first step. In many cases families can help one another since they all are missing something in their lives.
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.
