Movement in perfection
Silent in respect
Twenty-one steps forward
Twenty-one seconds to reflect
Guardians of a symbol
More than just remains
Defenders of our freedoms
Reminders of our pains
These sentinels are tireless
An oath to those they guard
A solemn responsibility
And personal regard
No matter what the weather
No attention will be paid
Single is the focus
On this tomb where heroes lay
About the Poem Sentinels
The poem Sentinels is about the soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They have an additional oath and a special responsibility. For them, Memorial Day is 365 days a year. They stand guard to remind us of the price of freedom, when sometime we forget.
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.
