A boy in his chair, eyes fixed on the blue,
Dreams of soaring high, like the birds he once knew.
No wheels to hold him, no ground to restrain,
Just wings to carry him, through sun and through rain.

He’d dance on the wind, with effortless grace,
A feathered spirit, in time and in space.
The world stretched below, a vibrant array,
A symphony of freedom, to brighten his day.

In his mind’s eye, he’s already flown,
A bird in the sky, finally on his own.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

A hopeful poem of imagination and freedom, where a boy in a wheelchair dreams of wings, soaring beyond limits into the boundless sky of the heart.

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)
