This sounds like a great love poem for the contest. It seems even better that you wrote this for your life long friends when he had a heart attack.
It is well written and easy fo follow. Good luck with the contest!

Nice job handling the meter and rhyme scheme of this sonnet, I think you articulated this great sense of overcoming the storms and nights of life together, sharing the ups and downs, coming through the struggles stronger and with more character, with deeper love than before. estory

This is such a kind and generous thing to do for your friend. I am sure she was speechless when given the poem that as you say exemplifies their lives. How well-composed and gentle your words.

This is a lovely Sonnet about two people sharing their lives together as one. The artwork is beautiful, with bright colors accenting the beauty of their love for each other. The flow is smooth, the rhymes are well chosen. I especially like the two rhymes, "foresee" and "dignity." If I could make one suggestion or rather a query, it would be in the second stanza the second line, the first word, is it meant to say "though?" or was it meant to say 'through?' I am not sure, but I thought I would point it out in case it is a typo that you can easily fix. My mistake if "though" is what you meant. I love the feeling of tenderness expressed in this. And I appreciate the author's note and update on Jim's condition. Thank you for telling the love story of friends of yours. They are very lucky indeed.
Take care, Jesse

"We Walk This Road as One", is an exceptionally well-written and spiritually-uplifting piece. To me, this is a six, but unfortunately I've run out of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.

    Janet, a true six would have been preferable.
