Poems from my Youth: (2) - Friendship

A friend like you is worth much more
Than all the treasures earth can store
Your worth I measure not in gold
But in the beauty of your soul
I think about you when we met
And there I knew my sun had set
A friend so true I then did find
A friend so gentle and so kind
I saw the beauty in your eyes
And then I came to realize
When you placed your hand in mine
My heart in friendship you did bind
My eyes you opened and just then
At last I knew I had a friend

Shadow
I like the sing-song effect of this.
I know a sonnet is a fourteen line poem.
Perhaps, there are other requirements for a sonnet
that may not be met by my poem.
I simply wrote how I felt.

Thank you for your comment.
