i love these

potrait of a friend
i cant 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 cant change your past with all its heartdache 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 you 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 cant give you boundaries which i have determined for you
but i can give you the room to change,room to grow,room to be urself
i cant 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 cant tell you who you are.
i can only love and be your friend.
wart do you see in urself?
imperfection or perfection?
look in the mirror,
and wart do you see in urself,
try to see in others.
if u see perfection in ur lie,
then see perfection in others.
if u see imperfection in urself
and forgive yourself for ur imperfection
then try also to forgive others.
who have the same imperfection.
the experience of oneness
in darkness or light
brings about harmony.
