Friendship

I received the following in an email and wanted to share it. It didn't have an author or title in the email I received. Hope you enjoy!

---------------


I can't give 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 it's heartache and pain nor the
Future with it's 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 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.
I can only love you and be your friend.

Are you this kind of friend? Do you have a friend like this in your life?
