If I yell loud enough
Will it stop the screams?
Or take away the nightmares
That haunt me in my dreams
If I cry long enough
Will it wash the blood away?
And take away the fear I feel
Every single day
If I laugh strong enough
Will my friends come back?
And brighten up the holidays
And make our days less black
If I live well enough
Will their memories live on?
And make the world a better place
Even though they’re gone
About the Poem If Only
If Only is an inspirational poem for the children who survived the Newtown school shooting. It’s something that follows you for the rest of your life. There is survivors guilt as well as the loss of your friends. Then there is the feeling of the moment which never goes away.
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.
