• 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 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 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 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
