Some of my Poems for all!

Beyond Me

October 6th, 2025

William McCurrach

At Times, One feels,

One hurts, one doesn’t,

One likes one, doesn’t,

And from a distance,

We all admire.

It may be a look, laugh, a smile,

It may be just the style,

But in the end, it holds one’s attention,

For longer than a while.

The happiness, the joy,

The fun times you see,

They make us all,

Who we be.

We can’t laugh forever,

We cry sometimes,

Knowing those we admire,

Are far above and beyond our lines.

We hold them above, we watch them with love,

Knowing they are far above our level,

Far above our reach,

For they be the ones,

We love, and want,

But we can never touch or love you see,

For they are above you and me.

So, I do what I can,

I admire from afar,

I look,

I wonder,

And I blunder tou see,

For I know she will never ever, see me.

If there were, but one chance,

One time to try you see, I would ask her to dance,

But I know my words would fail me.

So I watch, I admire, and enjoy,

The soul of such a lady, you see,

Knowing that she is far above,

And beyond me!

Wanting to Belong

September 5th, 2024

William M. William McCurrach

I look, I wonder,

I listen, I blunder,

I then back into a crowded room,

And people are laughing away the gloom.

There are times in life,

When I miss my wife,

There are times when I did things wrong,

And wish I can go back and make them right.

Then there are times, I wonder what I am still doing here,

For I am alone and sometimes live in fear.

Other times, I am fine alone,

Standing tall, on my own.

Yet, we all know, we can’t be an island on our own,

For we fear the loneliness and being on our own.

We wander and wonder, we seem to go on,

Please just remember, we all want to just belong !

You Can Do it!

October 6, 2025

William McCurrach

It has taken time,

In my heart and mind,

To realize,

My life,

Has been a surprise.

I survived 99 seizures as a baby,

I survived an abusive and violent childhood,

I did it all,

And stayed alive,

That my frends,

Was all a surprise.

I did things no one expected me to,

Somehow, Someway,

I survived each day.

I served my country,

I went back to do college,

I married twice and had two kids,

Somehow I did not blow my lid.

I am old these days you see,

But instinct, determination,

All pushed me.

So always remember and never forget,

You too can survive,

And get to where you wish yet.

Put your mind to,

Stick to it,

For by doing so,

You can do it!

Open Heart/ Open Mind

October 3rd, 2025

William M. McCurrach

Mountains We have climbed,

Places We have been,

People we have known,

It’s what shapes,

Me and You!

All of it you see,

Makes all of us,

Individually.

Some we shall love,

Some we shall like,

Some we won’t,

You See,

But that is up to you and to me.

So, no matter where we go,

No Matter what we do,

It’s through others and fate and destiny,

That makes me and you!

Never forget, no one is perfect,

No one is all fine,

Leave a little leeway,

In Your heart and mind,

If you don’t learn to accept,

Then you don’t learn and grow,

And bellieve me my friends,

Thats not the way to go.

Be open, be kind,

and keep a open heart,

And a open mind!
