sweet friendship…a poem

the following poem is a memory from the past…had read it somewhere still holds true……….

I cant change your past with all its heartaches and pains, nor the future with its untold stories…….

        But i can be there now when you need me to care.

I cant give solutions to all of life’s problems, doubts, fears……….

        But i can listen to you  and together we will search for answers.

I cant keep your feet from stumbling………

        But i can only  offer my  hand that you may  grasp and not fall.

I cant prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me……………..

        But i can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

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 keep your heart from breaking and hurting…………..

        But i can cry with you, and help you  pickup the pieces and put them back to place.

I cant tell you what you are to me……………

        But i can only  LIKE you, and be YOUR FRIEND FOREVER.
