_Portrait Of A Friend_


Waktu itu Saya pernah ditanya oleh seseorang, Dia adalah temanku, sahabatku, saudaraku. Dia bertanya apakah sikap dia terkadang aneh atau tidak .. Ku jawab Iya dan dia balik bertanya, aneh di bagian mananya??kasih tau ya??? Saya menjawabnya, namun Saya juga bingung menjelaskan apa dan bagaimana terkadang sikap anehnya itu.. Karena secara tak jelas apa yang diutarakan tentang hal ni, Akhirnya saya yang dibilang aneh olehnya karena tak bisa menjelaskan hal ini padanya...Tapi tak apa lah...Karena Mungkin tak semua bisa diungkapkan dengan kata-kata atau perilaku kita,, mungkin puisi ini dapat menggambarkan bagaimana Teman, Sahabat itu.. Bagaimana portrait seorang Dia di mata Kita dan Kita di mata Dia.. Walau berbeda pendapat, Tapi Kita adalah Satu!!!

"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.
