Search For Answers


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 and 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 and from me,
I can only pray for you,
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 and 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.
