Transcendental Sonnet #1313:
So Many People and So Few Years

I would have friends and I would be one
Be a blessing to those around me
Would know one in need when I see one
Have others be glad that they found me
And in general be of service
To my fellow human beings here

So many are anxious and nervous
I would soothe suffering and fight fear
And honestly love fellow creatures
As all are both students and teachers

So much to learn and so much to teach
Many tears to dry and many fears
To calm and comfort many to reach
So many people and so few years
