Bit #29: Lessons in Lyrics~My Wish

Little Life Lesson and Bit of Grace 29: Make a Wish and Plan for yourself and those you love

I love this song, "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts and thought it was a great choice for Lessons in Lyrics. I know that country music isn't everyone's taste, but these lyrics are just fantastic. We often spend so much time stressed about money, social status, jobs, etc. that life just passes us right by.

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were big things."–R. Brault

There are so many things that I wish for my children. I want them to have the best life possible and grow up knowing they are loved and have confidence in their gifts and abilities. I also want them to appreciate everything and enjoy the little things that life has to offer.

I also have many wishes for my own life and the lyrics in this song pretty much sum it up.

"My Wish"

I hope 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' 'til 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, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can haul,

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 always give more then 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 haul,

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.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can haul,

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 youmay all your dreams stay big

(Repeat)

(Chorus)
