What Is Sonnet 1 Saying?

I Am doing William Shakespeare's sonnets 1-6 and i am on sonnet 1! I need some help on what sonnet 1 is saying in modern English. can ANYONE Help Me??? Here's What It Said: From Fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty’s rose might never die, But as the ripper should, by time decrease, His tender heir might bear his memory But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed’st thy light ‘st flame with self-Substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe sweet self too cruel. Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud burriest thy content And, Tender churl, makest waste in regarding pity the world, or else this glutton be, To eat the world’s due, by the grave and thee.
