Transcendental Sonnet #1068:
A Smile Worthwhile
for Silke
Silke I have a happy surprise
Which is just for you and I speak true
When I say it should delight your eyes
But how am I able to do this now
To keep this secret and not tell somehow?
I have no idea how I can do it
But that my surprise is a mystery
Worth waiting for and worth sticking to it
That the end result of it all will be
That someday someone might remember me
And should that someone happen to be you
And should this happy surprise make you smile
My milestone birthday wish will have come true
And all my many years have been worthwhile
