I can't give you solutions
to all of life's problems,
doubts, or fears.
But I can listen to you, and
together we can seek answers.
I can't change your past
with all its heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories,
but I can be there
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 and joy.
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 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...
Except to tell you how sexy and beautiful you are.
Despite what someone else may say, but
I can love you and be your friend.
