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.
