The you you see is different
The pieces not the same
The one consistent feature
Is the tag that bears your name
You’ve learned to concur challenge
You’ve learned to ward off harm
But nothing can prepare you
To lose a leg or arm
So this is new and different
A bell can’t be un rung
You can’t erase the present
Or go back when you were young
You have a newfound mission
To work with what you have
To learn that you are grateful
To live, and love, and laugh

This is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley about a veteran returning home after a catastrophic injury such as losing an arm or a leg.
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.
