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.
