Your words bring to my mind how fortunate I've been. It is without a doubt that my life has been advanced because of certain friendships. The poem is a reminder of how valuable ture friendship is.

Hello Jaybird1,
Nice piece of poetry in the form of 'Sonnet' meeting the desired norms, and beautifully depicting its theme.
Impressive and perfectly matching the theme phraseology.
Smooth, spontaneous, and enchanting flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme.
"Care for the friends, along the way you sought-
True friendship is a given, never bought."
Superb!

No, nothing is better than a tried, tested and true friend! I have two in this world, and am happy I have them, even though they both live hours away from me.
I enjoyed your poem very much, not just for content, but for how it was structured in that lovely sonnet form, and how it flowed down the page with ease. Very nice work, thanks for sharing! xoxoxox

Your lovely poem is a timely reminder that our friendships are worth nurturing - we need trust and dependability in our lives and the best place to find it is in the company of a loyal friend. This is a beautiful poem, speaking to the bonds and value of true friendship.

My best friend and I have had lunch together every Saturday for over thirty years. We know the value of friendship. The greatest ship in the world is not a sailing ship. It is friendship.

Good sonnet on friendship and its value.
In line 2, maybe end with a comma instead of a period because you have a subordinate clause going, i.e. the sentence is not ready to end.
Stanza 1 talks about "my life" but then the poem goes on to talk about "you." The shift is somewhat awkward. I suppose you could use "I" throughout. "You" would not work in the first stanza. Maybe a plural--we, us, our--would have the effect you seek.
The idea of the last line is wonderful. Maybe remove "a" since "a given" means that something is just automatically there, while "given" means something is offered free of charge. Does that make sense?

Hello jabird
Your sonnet made me smile with your meaningful words of how important to have a friend that you can depend on when in need.

No truer words have ever been spoken. Anyone who attempts to buy a friend, only winds up buying deception and heartbreak. Any so called friend for hire, leave shortly after discovering that you have no more money to spend or lend.

This is so true. There is nothing more comforting than the shoulder of a friend when you need someone to lean on. More valuable than gold. Thank you for sharing your insightful sentiments.
