Players on Life’s Stage

All the world’s just a stage,
Where we strut, fret, and age.
Men and women appear,
Play their roles year by year,
Then exit — life turns the page.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

A playful take on Shakespeare’s timeless metaphor — where life is theatre, and we each perform our part before the curtain falls. Limerick meets legacy.

Self‑Discovery and Identity — “What Was and What Will Be

Forged by Choice

Life is not forged by chance alone,
But by the seeds that we have sown. Each crossroads asks what we believe,
And what we’re willing to achieve. Through every choice our paths rejoice,
For destiny is forged by choice.
