i really like this poem.. i got this way back in college.. i dunno who wrote this though..
I cant give solutions to all of your life’s problems, doubts, or fears..
But I can listen to you, and together we will search for the answers..
I cant change your past with all its heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories..
But I can be there now when you need me to care..
I cant 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 cant 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 that 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..
Lastly, I’m just here when u need me to care..
