True friends are the foundation of our little castle of personal existence...and we find out how "true" they are when things get tough. Some run away, and the true ones run toward you... Karenina

How true is this that on dark days a friend can shed some light. This is a meaningful sonnet, written in perfect metre and rhyme and importantly carries a strong message of hope.

Great poem, Jay and it's just the thing to read today. :)

This is a excellent and true poem. In my life journey my friends have been very helpful and supportive. Many of them are gone now but the
love and memories they left cannot be measured

You are so right. Family is important, but friends are very important too and sometimes they even understand us better.
Thanks so much for sharing another beautiful poem.

This is delightful. I think it would be awesome in a card to someone who is going through a rough time financially or health-wise. I like the line "send peace and comfort in your daily fight." And the last line packs it in. Thanks for sharing!

You have rightly expressed your view point about identifying and having a true friendship, that true friendship is a given and it is never bought overnight; well said, well done.

How very true this poem is! Friends can help ease you through many things. I lost my best friend when we were 19, and even though I enjoy my friends old and new, there has never been anyone quite as close in spirit as she. Even at our young age, we knew it was God that drew us together. I will always treasure the time we had and look forward to seeing her again one day. xoxo

Hello Jaybird, this is a lovely poem with good abab rhyme throughout. A lovely final couplet - and so true. Lovely first line 'As I stroll through my hall of memories,' - good use of metaphor. I really enjoyed reading this fine poem to friendship. Warm regards Dorothy
