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,
but I can offer my hand,
that you may grasp 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.
