Bill McNulty

Today is the perfect day to share this verse.

To move ahead there must be a vision to share.
At times your soul will be left emotionally bare.
A shared vision only happens with open eyes.
Equal rights is the spirit of hope that never dies.
Know making the right move can never be wrong.
Build the community where all want to belong.
A shared vision may never be picture perfect,
But will always allow time to pause and reflect.
A shared vision in which every voice will be heard.
A shared vision where you put meaning in every word.
A shared vision where all your actions have merit.
A vision giving the next generation a world to inherit.

While there is always a poem to share, there are also books of verses that we have published. Apoetatheart.com has all the books listed and links to ordering books. You can also go to Amazon and check out books, Bill McNulty and find Kindle or paper books. Remember that all proceeds from books sales are donated to causes that we are close to. For anyone who wants to write a review of any of the books, I will always be grateful for any kind words that you wish to share. I might be tempted to create a poem just for you.

In every era, there’s a desire to belong.
That feeling ever present and so strong.
Always wanting to strive and hit your mark.
For some with an emotional creative spark.
Never let tradition limit who you are meant to be.
Always let your voice sound strong and ring free.
Let your soul be part of who you are.
And the word you share will travel far.
Judging by race or gender is always wrong,
When all they want is the chance to belong.

With my thanks for following my verses on this blog, I wish everyone the very best for next year.

With no regrets, we say goodbye to 2020.
It’s on to 2021, that we can’t wait to see.
The past year leaves all with stories to tell.
Often with a wish that those we know are well.
We look forward to better days in the new year.
Always keeping in touch all those that we hold dear.
There will be a new list of tasks to complete.
Noting the poor choices, we plan never to repeat.
For all the New Year’s resolutions that we make,
What will be the first one that we must break?
Wishing everyone well as we welcome Jan One.
Welcome the fact that 2020 is really done.

For months, Covid 19 has been in the air.
IC nurses with the patients in their care.
PPE, what the medical team wears every day.
Another shift, starting to feel like instant replay.
Doctors, hear the frustration in their voice.
Treating patients, there with no other choice.
Virus isolation means no visitors at all.
Loneliness makes you feel so small.
Medical team working to relieve a patient’s pain.
Valiant treatment in their hands, so often in vain.
Always there to offer their patients much comfort.
We salute the medical team and all their support.
