Transcendental Sonnet #889:
Happy Birthday
Today my son Stevie became nineteen
A very happy birthday time today
Spent with my two sons for the price of one
Teddy came too and I was in between
The greatest guys whom I have ever known
We had a lot of laughs a lot of fun
I hated when they had to go away
But now I remember here all alone
That my children love me and enjoy me
My depression might not yet destroy me
Not today anyway Happy Birthday
My namesake son my Teddy Pat my boys
With your sister Maria my three joys
Save me from the sadness of my madness
