Charmaine :D

i can't give solutions to al of life's problems, doubt,

or fear. but i can listen to you, and together we will

search for answers.

i can't change your past with all its headache and pain,

nor 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, trimphs, successs 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 support you, encourage you,

and help you when you ask.

i can't prevent you from falling away from the 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 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.
