Edgar Guest - Trouble Brings Friends
Work rating: Low

It`s seldom trouble comes alone. I`ve noticed this: When things go wrong
An` trouble comes a-visitin`, it always brings a friend along;
Sometimes it`s one you`ve known before, and then perhaps it`s someone new
Who stretches out a helping hand an` stops to see what he can do.

If never trials came to us, if grief an` sorrow passed us by,
If every day the sun came out an` clouds were never in the sky,
We`d still have neighbors, I suppose, each one pursuin` selfish ends,
But only neighbors they would be--we`d never know them as our friends.

Out of the troubles I have had have come my richest friendships here,
Kind hands have helped to bear my care, kind words have fallen on my ear;
An` so I say when trouble comes I know before the storm shall end
That I shall find my bit of care has also brought to me a friend.
