Reflections on Aging: Being a Decent Man

Decent Man

January 15th, 2026

William McCurrach

Time waits on no one,

The seconds, minutes hours and days,

Seem to fly by, and disappear in the past,

And become far away.

I am not young anymore, yet,

In Spirit I am not old either,

I try to do what I love,

Be who I am,

For what am I Lord but, a man.

So as each day slips by and the older I get,

I remember the good times,

And tend to forget the bad.

I remember those I loved and those i love today,

And move forward knowing,

I have the memories of yesterday.

Yes I know there will come a day,

When for others who knew me or know me,

I shall be a memory to too you see.

I only try hard and do what I can,

To be remembered, as a decent man!
