Friendship is Golden

I can’t give solutions to all 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 its 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 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 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, 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.

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

Our most difficult task as a friend is to offer understanding when we don’t understand.

A true friend is someone who can understand your past, believe in your future, and accept you for who you are today.

A friend is someone who picks you up when nobody else has even realized you’ve fallen.

Friends are like rainbows. They brighten up your life once you have been through a storm.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when they would rather be somewhere else.

A friend is one who reaches for your hand but touches your heart.

Only a friend can see you are hurting inside when on the outside you are smiling.

Friend, this is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to your lips,

sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself,

patience to accept the truth, and Love to complete your life.
