A true friend loveth at all times...
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 its 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 happinesses 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.

modernlifeisrubbish Hi MWS,
i liked the first verse.
This is what the poet Khalil Gibran wrote on friendship which you had likely read.
"And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks ought but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."
Thank you for sharing this.
