If you're alone, I'll be your
shadow.
If you want to cry, I'll be your
shoulder.
If you want a hug, I'll be your
pillow.
If you need to be happy, I'll be
your smile.
And anytime you need a friend, I’ll
be me.
AND
will add another thought I share often that I think goes hand in hand with
this: people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. And as much as we like, want to spend time
with or desire to be around certain people, we must realize that their purpose
in our life OR our purpose in THEIR life is complete.
It
is a hard lesson to learn; to think about people being in your life temporarily. I have had times that I was close to someone
and that changed. Sometimes I tried to “recreate”
the old times and sometimes they tried.
It never really will be the same despite all good efforts, intensions
and thoughts.
Sometimes
we need to cry and other times we need to be the shoulder. Sometimes we are alone and sometimes we are
the shadow. It is important that we pay
attention and be intentional with our relationships with others. our loved ones, family, friends, co-workers
and strangers. We need to be aware of
our boundaries, their boundaries, and intentions.
I
am not proposing having a dossier on each person you meet or interact
with. I am saying that developing relationships
is an important step, process and journey, and as such it IS important to be intentional
about behaviors, boundaries and intent.
We can be the change we seek in
this world. and in ourselves. One
day. One journey. One person.
One friend at a time.
