I can’t give solution to all of life’s problems,
doubts or fear… But I can listen to you.
I can’t change your past with all its heartaches
and pain or 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… But I can offer my hand that you may
grasp it and not fall.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make
or to judge… But I can only support you, encourage you
and help you when you ask.
I can’t prevent you from falling away from
friendship, for your values, from me… But I can only pray for you, and wait for
you.
I can’t give you boundaries… 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 pick up
the pieces and put them back in place.
I can’t tell you who to love… But I can love you and be your
FRIEND.
