A few poems I wrote in 2025 so far!

A Dying Breed

William M. William McCurrach

March 15th, 2025

I was a Navy Boiler Techichan,

An Engineer, with a great tradition,

I am a dying breed it seems.

I have lived and made come true,

My own dreams, for you and me.

I served my country, I did my time,

I hurt my body,

And almost blew my mind.

I have survived and did what was right,

I won’t say it was easy,

No it was a fight.

I am free and so are those I love,

And thats why, I did what I did,

I say each night to the stars above.

A veteran serves not for him or herself,

They serve for the rights of everyone else.

I did a job, no one else wanted to do,

Now all I ask, is to live the rest of my life,

In Peace, Thank You!

Time and Choices

William M. McCurrach

March 15th, 2025

Time may make us older,

it doesn’t make us stupid ,

It can make us bolder.

As a widower I know,

I have been down this road before,

Make the choices,

hear the voices,

And at some point, and in time,

You will find someone, who will say be mine.

Just remember not to rush,

To find that gentle touch.

For we spent the time, we made the choices,

Just filter through, and hear the correct voices!

Another Monday

BY: William M. McCurrach

January 6th, 2025

Onward we go is all I can say,

Yes I know it’s another Monday!

As time rolls along and the older I get,

I wonder how much older, before I forget.

Memories keep me going,

Day by day, I wonder, how much longer that may be,

But I know at my age, time is moving faster each day,

So, what ever happens, happens is what they say.

One can’t fight time, or fate,

One can’t fight destiny you see,

But, one can mold and control, only so much,

Before you grow old and get out of touch.

So remember my family and my friends,

We all should prepare for our, eventual end.

Write your wills, make peace with all you love,

For in the end, the Lord shall greet you up above

Shinning Star

By: William McCurrach

January 14th, 2025

I have loved many from afar,

Like a person staring up at a star.

To dream of what could be,

If i had just one of those I loved from afar,

With me.

The thoughts of a long journey with someone you love,

Is never lost, while there is a star in the sky up above.

So, if you are like me, and have loved,

Someone from a far, and looked up at night and seen a shinning star,

Know, what I have learned over time,

You can try and try, even sometimes cry,

But, the dream of the one you loved from afar,

Will always be represented by that shinning star.

Each night you look up and see that star looking back,

Remember, there is someone who loves you from afar,

And I will always remember you, as my shinning star!

I write poems when in the mood is all. I also do my blogs here in WordPress as people now know. At 69 now, and still kicking, I am amazed really. I had always figured I would be gone by 40 years old. yet here I am at 69. Anyway, been a widower now since August 2021, when my wife passed from cancer, after her long cancer battle. I do miss her dearly of course. I miss her guidance, her smarts, her logic, but most of all her companionship and caring ways. 28 years was a blessing to me , to be with her. She was my senior by 16 years. age never mattered, what mattered is we were committed, loving and caring to one another and supportive.

Well, for today, I think that is it for me. I wrote the one political blog today and now this. I hope some enjoy my blogs and my poetry.

Thanks for reading folks!
