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

The Future You Create

The future waits in quiet clay,
Shaped by the hands that work today.

No distant star can chart your way,
Like choices made along the day.

Each step becomes tomorrow’s view,
The future lives in what you do.
