Letter To a Friend
I can not give you solutions to the problems
that life has brought you, or have answers to
the doubts that you might have. I can only
listen to you and try to find them together.
I can not change your past or your future, but
if you need me Ill be there. I can not avoid it if
you stumble. I can only give you my hand so
you won't fall.
Your joys, happiness and successes are not mine,
but sincerely I enjoy it when I see what they have
done for you. I don't judge the decisions you make
in life. I limit myself to suport you and help you
if you ask.
I can not avoid it if you distance yourself from me.
I can only wish you the best and wait for your return.
I can not set limits on how you should act. I can only
offer you enough space for you to grow.
I can not avoid your sufferings when a great pain breaks
your heart. I can only cry with you, pick up the pieces and
try to make it new. I can not tell you who you are, or who
you should be. I can only love you the way you are and
be your friend.
On this day I prayed for you and remembered my most
precious friends. I am happy that I have more friends than
I imagine. That is what they tell me and they prove it to me.
I see the shine on their eyes and the smiles on their faces
when they see me.
I also feel peace and happiness, when I see them and we
talk. Today - I was thinking of my friends and suddenly you
were there in my thoughts. You were not at the top of the
list, or in the middle, or at the end.
I only know that you have a special quality, that was
transmitted to my life a long time ago. I don't pretend to be
the first, second, or third on your list. For me it's enough if
you want me for your friend. Now I understand that we are
true friends. I prayed and gave thanks to GOD for giving me
a friend like you...
