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 it's 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 happinesses 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.
