Sonnet 11: To My Friend X

Oh, _ _, friend, please happy be again

You are good looking, smart, and brave, and kind

Don't let your wisdom you from joy refrain -

Any girl should think you an awesome find.

You show that you a leader of men art

Which only shows that all who know respect

The sage advice proceeding from your heart

And way of living your life circumspect.

But wisdom can still lead to loneliness

And loneliness to pain and sorrow deep.

In learning much, much sad self-centeredness

Into one's heart and soul can creep.

Keep loving God and in Him find your peace

Until from this sad world you find release.
