Those of us in uniform
A family does it make
Part is our commitment
And the oath that we do take
Each of us has families
Parents, kids and wives
These are what we fight for
And for which we’d give our lives
Most don’t understand it
Until they hear it true
And then there’s no undoing
The actions they must do
It’s there they find commitment
To do what must be done
And each day embrace the sunrise
And not fear the setting sun
About the Poem – One Life
One Life is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley for military members and their families. There is a bond between people that have served in the military that is often lost on the rest of the world. It’s also somewhat universal and timeless. You can put two people who have never met together who have served in the military and I guarantee they will have something to talk about. They probably have some similar stories or maybe actually participated in the same events. They also understand the world the same way. At sporting events I can usually spot the former military members by the way they stand for the national anthem.
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.
