The Hurry of Passing Time

Verse 1


There once was a life rushed too fast,
Chasing moments that never could last.
In the clatter and race,
We forgot time’s soft grace—
And the sweetness is now slipping past.

Verse 2


Through days that we hurried awake,
We plundered each hour in our wake.
Yet wisdom would say,
Pause somewhere in the day—
For the small, quiet joys that we take.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

A reflection on life’s rushing pace, reminding us to pause and cherish moments before they fade.

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)
