Gather up my spirit
And raise my fallen flag
Call for reinforcements
Before you put me in a bag
I am but a vessel
The tip of freedom’s spear
Call another forward
To help rid the world of fear
Take my essence with you
As you move on towards your goal
Remember what we fight for
And don’t worry about the toll
Remember me in victory
For it’s triumph that I’ve seen
In life or death you’ll know me
As a proud U.S. Marine
About the Poem Moving Forward
The poem Moving Forward is about a Marine’s final thoughts and still caring more about his men than his own body.
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.
