"POTRAIT OF A FRIEND"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears..
But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers..
I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the future with its untold stories..
But I can be there now when you need me to care..

I can't keep your feet from stumbling..
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall..
Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine, Yet I can share in your laughter..
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge..
I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask..

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me..
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you..
I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you..
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself..

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting..
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place..
I can't tell you who you are..
I can only love you and be your friend..
