Tears in your eyes reflect pain hidden there recalling your youth and a world more kind. And a sadness fills your heart with despair as memories replay within your mind. The truth's apparent, endorsed by old age, so hold my hand and let me calm your fears. For though life's book approaches the last page there is no need for worry or sad tears. I knew you in my youth when just a boy you entered my life as a friend back then. And amidst innocence and youthful joy you helped a boy enter the world of men. Look deep into my eyes granny and see that as long as I live, you’ll live in me.

My assessment is that whenever I see "sonnet", I know they're a true poet, and it never disappoints. Being a granny, I especially enjoyed this.
