Sometimes the laws of physics
Seem standing in your way
And choice gives no other option
But to go for it and pray
There are no thoughts of bravery
Just getting the job done
Knowing I’ve made a difference
That’s when the day is won
Sometimes you risk everything
When everything’s at stake
And you owe it to so many
To not make a mistake
If you have doubts, just watch me
I will succeed where others fail
Failure is not an option
In the end I will prevail
About the Poem – Just Watch Me
Just Watch Me is a poem about the Afghanistan airlift in 2021. I haven’t fact checked the following but I hope it’s true because it’s a great story. For those of you who haven’t been on a military transport before, they are not designed for comfort. The C-17 is designed to carry up to 134 troops. On Aug 12, over 800 people apparently crammed themselves into one of these in Afghanistan. When the tower asked the pilot if he could even get off the ground with the weight and temperature, his response was “Just watch me”.
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.
