My Wish

Around the time that Jacob was born the song "My Wish" was released. I loved the song and naturally I thought of Jacob every time I heard it. Those words have become common thoughts and worries for Jacob. So, I've deemed it my song for him. I want so much for him! I don't ever want him to be discouraged because he's "different." I pray God gives him strength to endure laughter, stares, awkward moments and silence. I wish I could keep him in a bubble forever so he'd never experience the pain that others can bring him. However, I can't do that so I pray for strength and endurance for him! Love my sweet Jacob!!


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' till you find the window,
And 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 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 always give more than you take.

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 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.
