I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.
But I can listen to you, & together we'll search for answers...
I can't change your past with all it's heartache & 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 & not fall.
Your joys, triumphs, successes, & 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, & 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 & 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 & help you pick up the pieces
& put them back in place.
I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you & be your friend.
