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 its 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. I promise to try to do all of these things and be the best friend I can be from now on!
