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, but I can offer my hand, that you may grasp 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 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.
