Modern Shall I compare thee

Will I compare you to a summer day?

You are so amazing and so simple

The spring breeze shakes the buds of the upcoming blossoms

And summers don't last long enough 

Sometimes the sun is too hot

And it is often darkened by clouds

And everything beautiful stops being beautiful when it dies

By chance or by natures design

But your summer will always remain the same

And your beauty shall always remain 

Death will not brag as you walk in the underworld

Once you are in these lines

As long as men live and can see

This poem will keep your beauty alive
