	Sonnet for Lowenstein Tis wondrous how so sudden things grow strange When brief held friendship springs to something new And how unending far my free thoughts range To places unseen occupied by you. And yet at "strange" my lips should hesitate And seek a word that might my thoughts reveal That my heartfelt delight would indicate And not an awkwardness I do not feel. For though the time’s been brief, it has not been While my fond brain has puzzled the attempt If I should dare to dare and judging when I’d know if I’d meet welcome or contempt. Your new attention, sudden but not strange A long anticipated welcome change. sample speech beginning: Now, I know a lot of best men like to use this time to...how can I put this? Make the groom "uncomfortable." When I look over at Jason, I can see he's getting pretty nervous now. He's looking about as anxious as he did right before the ceremony started. I want Jason to know that he can relax, because I have no intention of doing that. Because I'm just not that kind of guy. And because he's already promised to pay me five dollars for every story I don't tell you during this speech. . . . Hidden Sonnet Rather than being clear to public view My love defines a private space apart There all is kept that’s spoke between us two Alone there lives this secret of my heart But not as such, not lonely, not alone For you dwell with me in this idyll place And thus the secret is not just my own But stands before me hidden in your face For our romance is yet so circumspect It leaves no trace for prying would be spies And disapproval does not yet suspect What I find plain to read within your eyes Our love it hides itself and us as well Treasured away until we wish to tell. sample speech ending: . . .I'm going to put all the joking aside now, because what I really want to say is so simple: I care about this guy. I'm happy for him. He has found a great woman. I hope they're happy together. I think they will be.
