MWAH Day 4: Wish

Song: My Wish
Artist: Rascal Flatts

This was the first song I thought of when I heard the word "Wish." Which is actually kind of bittersweet. It's probably one of the most popular songs for a mother-son dance at weddings. I know that the words in the song definitely speak to everything I would have wished for Ryan and are certainly everything I wish now for Brayden. "I hope you never look back, but you never forget all the ones who love you and the place you left... this is my wish." Though Ryan's earth-bound journey never got started and he didn't have the choice in leaving, I hope that he always knows how much he is loved. And I'll always wish we could have danced together on his wedding day.

Lyrics:
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 the 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

[Chorus:]
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 hold
And while you’re out there gettin’ where you’re gettin’ 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 you never forget
All the ones who love you
And 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 than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything

[Chorus x2]

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big
