Wrote It With All of my Heart - The Portrait of a FRIEND..

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.
I can only offer my hand
that you may grasp it
and not fall..
.
Your joys, triumphs, success,
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....
