Out of the Blue

Friends are a gift given to you
They come into your lives from out of the blue
At least that's the way to most it seems
But God really sends them on magical sunbeams

Some cross your path just for a while
To help with some plan or give you a smile
Some enter your life and stay forever
Those special bonds you can never sever

Some new friends you feel you've known a long time
But figuring it out there's neither reason nor rhyme
You fall into a relationship warm and true
Which brings much happiness to both of you

Friends can help you when you're at wits end
They stand strong for you and never bend
Their love for you is very real
They tend to keep you on an even keel

Friends are people in whom you confide
No matter what, they're always by your side
They comfort you in times of sorrow
And you know they'll always be there tomorrow

God knew you'd need special people in your life
Who would always assist you in conquering strife
Friends don't come from your family tree
But many are closer than any family

Where would you be without a good friend
Life as you know it would come to an end
Thank God for sending your friends to you
Those special people who came out of the blue
