Sonnets and Poems

William T. Meany (Billy)
7/10/1953 - 2/22/2013

These are the works of my brother Billy. In this book you will find his words.
His earlier writings, A Blind Man's Color, was published in the New York Times at the age of 13.A true man for all seasons, a man of motion!
He was born with a form of muscular dystrophy but he never let it affect him or hold him back. I would say he was the most complex and probably the most brilliant man I ever met. His lifelong dream was to be published.
I hope someone would enjoy his writings. I would tell him, "you have a vision and the rest of the world is wearing bifocals".
He graduated with honors and top of his calss at Saint Theresa of Avila, class of 67. He received a New york State regents scholarship from Brooklyn Prep, class of 71. He was a Magna cum Laude graduate of Brooklyn Collage, class of 75.

With all my love,
Your Little brother,
Phil
