My Wish For You

I would definitely consider myself a dreamer.  As a kid I was always making big plans for my future, but when I beame a mom everything changed.  I stopped dreaming for myself and began dreaming for my girls.  I love them so much and would do anything for them.  I can't believe they are both in jr. high.  It seems like time is flying by.  I want to put on the brakes and just enjoy every minute I have with them.  They are turning into amazing young women and I am so proud of them!  The song, MY WISH, by Rascal Flats, puts into words what I am feeling better than I can.


I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
(It seems like the days are flying by and you girls are growing so fast.  I'm afraid that if I blink you will be all grown up and ready to go out on your own.  I pray that you enjoy every minute of every day and take nothing for granted.)

And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
(I know that you will make good choices in life.  Stay true to yourself and never give up on your dreams.  Keep on reaching for the stars.  You can do anything you set your mind to.)

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
(I hope that you know how much I love you.  I will always be here for you and will support you no matter what.  You can talk to me about anything.  I am so proud of you both!)

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
(Always remember that God's grace is immeasurable.  You will never be alone for he will always be there to hold you.  As much as I love you, he loves you even more.  Hold on to that.)

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big
(Dream BIG kiddos! I LOVE YOU)
