I wrote this poem September of 2013 and this is my first time sharing it. Enjoy it!
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you
I can tell you which way to go but I can't take the path for you
I can tell you what is right to do but I can't make the choice for you
I can encourage you to stand but I can't get up for you
I can give you the material, but I can't use them for you
I can tell you a story, but I can't read between the lines for you
I can show you the sun, but I can't shine bright for you
I can give you the lesson, but I can't learn it for you
I can see you do wrong, but I can't change your ways for you
I can tell you to hear but I can't listen for you
I can hand you the keys, but I can't go in for you
I can give you the procedures, but I can't work it out for you
I can show you the test, but I can't take it for you
I can show you where the fruit is, but I can't partake it for you
I can give you the elements of life, but I can't know them for you
I can show you the garden to use but I can't plant the seeds for you
I can make a dish for you, but I can't taste it for you
I can tell you what to work on, but I can't study it for you
I can give you a book, but I can't read it for you
I can give you a pen, but I can't write for you
I can see your emotions, but I can't feel them for you
I can show you where to look but I can't see for you
I can tell you what to say but I can't speak for you
I can tell you what's broken, but I can't fix it for you
I can introduce you to happiness, but I can't smile for you
I can give you the concept, but the moral is on you
