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 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 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.
