It’s things we take for granted
Like burgers on a grill
Or a frozen lake in winter
Or the girl that gives us chills
For each of us it’s different
Sometimes just space to breath
These are the things we think of
Each time we lay a wreath
Some pay the price for others
To keep our dreams alive
The cost is often heavy
For our freedoms to survive
We guard them and protect them
So others may enjoy
This way of life we fight for
That nothing can destroy
About the Poem Why We Fight
The Poem Why We Fight is written for the family of Sgt. Steven DeLuzio, U.S. Army. Steven served with the Vermont National Guard, and was assigned to 172nd Infantry Regiment, 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. He was killed Aug 22, 2010 in Afghanistan.
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.
