You may have figured out by now that I love music. I have been singing ever since I could talk and it’s always been such a great form of expression for me. I studied music, both privately and in school, in high school and college.

To do this day, I can hear a song and fall in love with it and it means something to me. I will sing the song when I’m feeling whatever mood the song is associated with. For example, the song Held by Natalie Grant was a great source of comfort to be after my first miscarriage. I would sing this song at the top of my lungs for weeks as soon as my son was on the bus and off to school and I was home alone.

Today my niece, Holly, asked me if I heard the new Rascal Flatts song, My Wish. I hadn’t but I love their song The Broken Road and like a lot of their music. As I listened to My Wish I was so moved by the lyrics and sentiment.

These lyrics are my wish for Noah, Charlie, and any child of mine that graces this earth.

I hope that days come easy and 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,

More then anything, more then 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 then 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 then you take.

Oh More then anything, Yeah, and more then 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 then 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.
