Transcendental Sonnet #723:
For My Stevie As He Graduates
Steven Curtis Lance graduates today
A man much taller than me but the same
Look out of the eye and with the same name
A kind man and good to whom I would say
Thank you for being my namesake my son
God bless you on your journey now begun
Watch out for the Republicans for those
Who do not care for others as we do
Who would use abuse you give you the hose
I could not bear for them to ruin you
As they have ruined others even me
I wish for you my son the very best
A better and a brighter destiny
Blaze up the east as I set in the west
