The Story Of A Friendship: Chapter Four

Chapter Four: A Story Told In Reverse...

"My Wish"

We have had a year to prepare for our dear friends moving, but you always wish that things wouldn't change,
that time would slow down.
You wish that friends could stay forever and ever.

But life is about change, and even my wishes for them have changed...

"My Wish"

By: Rascal Flatts

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,


Yeah, this, is my wish.

When you cry for so long, you finally accept the road that takes a friend away.
You accept the changes that life brings.

Unfortunately, I am there,
My family is there.

My wish?

For our friends to continue to follow God's will...

Wherever this new road takes them...

...Even as it is far away from us..
