It’s there in almost everything
A little bit of care
Sometimes in our actions
Or time we choose to share

It’s how we create memories
That more than one will know
It’s always through our actions
That care will likely show

Attention to the details
Or perhaps another kiss
A little something extra
You never want to miss

We only have such precious time
To do while we are there
So try to make it special
And show them that you care

About the Poem Take Care

The poem Take Care was written for the family of Maude Virginia Porter-Miller. She was another member of the U.S. Women’s Army Corps, 6888th Battalion and died in 2008. She loved taking care of children and worked at a nursery school. She was also a seamstress and enjoyed landscaping and gardening. There are so many things we can do in our life and only so much time to do them. Take care in anything you do and you will leave your mark on the world.

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.
