Echoing Voices of Experience

A traveller once lost in life’s span,
Heard echoes return through the span.
Though his missteps rang wide,
They showed where he’d tried—
And guided the steps of the man.

For each path once wandered astray,
Left markers along the long way.
What seemed but a fall,
Was a lesson for all—
A map drawn in shades of life’s grey.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

Mistakes may echo loudly through life, but their sound carries wisdom. Each reverberation reminds us where we’ve been—and where we may yet go.

Reflections on Life

Love and Pain

“Love is not without pain,
And will surely bring pain.
A broken heart may hurt,
But resilience and trust in each other
May cure both.”


Of course, it also allows for a choice—
The choice of freedom.

Lessons of Choice

“Choice is a lesson in itself—
A lesson of right and wrong.
No matter the choices we make in life,
They will shape and build
Our sagacity.”

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)
