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

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happinesses are not mined; 
yet I can share in your laughter. 

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, or 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.
