We are more than the elegance
Of the mighty red, white, and blue
We are made of many
That show our colors true
Many use a broad brush
To paint us all the same
But there is more to seeing us
When you know us all by name
Each color has a purpose
To fill the canvas space
And together creates a picture
That time cannot erase
We share a common purpose
To paint a future day
Where hate and fear are absent
It’s us that will guide the way
About the Poem We Are The Colors
The Poem We Are The Colors was written for the family of Army Spc. Rel A. Ravago IV who died November 23, 2003 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Rel enjoyed art as much as serving his country. This is a way of looking at both through the same lens.
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.
