"Portrait of a Friend"

                  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, 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, 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,

                  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.

                                                                        

                                                      DON’T

 

Don’t care so much for me,

I may get used to it.

Don’t come so near to me,

I may not be able to detach from it.

Don’t put so much faith in me,

I may not be able to handle it.

Don’t touch me the way u do,

I may not be able to get over it.

Don’t become a part of my life,

Coz without u, I won’t be able to live it.

Don’t make me fall for u,

I may not be able to fall out of it.

Don’t come into my life,

If u have to leave one day.

Don’t give me the hope,

That it’s forever u r gonna stay.

Coz love is an emotion

I won’t be able to hide,

When love isn’t reciprocated with love,

It hurts deep down inside.

Don’t start something

That I won’t be able to end.

Don’t make me believe

That u can be more than a friend.

Coz at the end of it all,

I don’t wanna hear u say,

That,” I’m sorry,”

“ but I never felt the same way!”

Why God Made Friends

    

God made the world with a heart full of love,
Then He looked down from Heaven above,

And saw that we all need a helping hand,
Someone to share with, who'll understand.

He made special people to see us through
The glad times and the sad times, too;

A person on whom we can always depend,
Someone we can call a friend.

God made friends so we'll carry a part
Of His perfect love in all our hearts.
