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 heartaches 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, 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, and encourage you, and help you when you ask.

I can't help you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you. wait for you. I can't give you boundries 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 into place. I can't tell you who you are, I can only love you and be your friend.

 I love you, always cloud
