"Portrait of a Friend"

"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 piecesand put them back in place. I can't tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend.
In a brief conversation, a man asked me "What kind of man are you looking for?" I sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, "Do you really want to know?" Reluctantly, he said, "Yes." I began to expound... "As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?" The man looked at me. Clearly he thought that I was referring to money. I quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money, I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life. "He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain. I said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man. I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked...believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself. When I finished my spill, I looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, "You are asking a lot. I replied, "I'm worth a lot."
