A smile that’s slightly crooked
A hair that’s out of place
Or maybe that we giggle
When someone is too close to our face
These things that we may focus on
And wish that we could change
Are woven in our fabric
And hard to rearrange
What is perfect anyway
Who are we to say
Trying to change the way we are
Only gets in the way
These subtle imperfections
Are trademarks that we’re real
Choosing to accept them
Is how we start to heal
About the Poem Our Imperfections
The poem Our Imperfections is mainly about excuses. We look for things that are less than perfect about ourselves. These give us excuses for why we can’t do something, or meet someone, etc. We tend to look around and identify perfect people and look at ourselves and think that can’t be us. Well it’s not us. And those perfect people, probably aren’t so perfect if you do a little digging. All of us think we are imperfect at some level. They aren’t imperfections, they are trademarks. They are what make us who we are.
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.
