portrait of a friend

I can't give you solutions to all of lifes 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 heartbreaks 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 offer my hand to you that you may gasp it and not fall.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make,nor to judge.

I can only support you,encourage you, and help 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 for 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 then back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.

I can only love you and be your friend.
