I can't give you the solutions to all life's problems, doubts or fears.
But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.
I can't
change you past with all it's hertache and pain,
nor the future with it's untold stories.
But I can be ther now when you need me to care.
I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand thjat you may grasp it and not fall.
You joys, thriumphs, success and happiness are not mine;
yet I can share in you laughter.
You decisions in your life are not mine to make , nor to judge;
I can only support you, ecourage you , and help you when you ask.
I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from you values, from me
I can only pray for you , talk to you and wait for you.
I can't give you boundaries which you have determined for you,
but I cangive you the room to change, room to grove, room to be youself.
I can't keep you heart from hurting and breaking,
but I can cry with you
and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place.
What is a friend I will tell you
It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself
You soul can be naked with her/him.She ask of you to pun nothing, only to be what you are.
She doesn't want to be better or worse.
You do not have to be on your guard.
You can say what you think,
so long as is is genuinely you,
She
understands those contardictions in you nature
that lead others to misjudge you,
with her you can breathe freely.
She understands.
You do not have to be careful,
You can abuse you , neglect her, tolerate her
BEST OF ALL YOU CAN STILL KEEP UP WITH HER,
it makes no matter , she likes you
She is like the fire that purges the bone.She understands.
She understands.
You can weep with her , pray with her, laugh with her.
Through it all and underneath,
she sees, she knows and still loves you.
A FRIEND ,WHAT IS A FRIEND?
Just one, I repeat, with whom you dare to be yourself.
