My Wish

This post was written in response to a writing challenge from Wilddreemer. You can read other responses here.

What are the three things you wish for your kids to experience in their lives? Is it different for your sons and daughters?

There is a Rascal Flats song titled My Wish. It came out when I was pregnant, if it came on the radio I would start crying (ohhh pregnancy hormones, the things you made me cry about). It is a really sweet song, it's all of the things that a parent wishes for their child. I dubbed it as Hannah's song, and would turn it up and touch my belly and tell Hannah her song was on. It's now on the playlist that she listens to at night.

Lyrics to My Wish, by Rascal Flats

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
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,

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 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.

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,

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,

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody who loves you
may all you dreams stay big

GREAT song! I tear up when I hear it! I think every parent can relate to the lyrics.
