17 birthday wishes for my 17 year old birthday girl...


I know it's rather cheesy to refer to song to get a point across but honestly when what you want to say has already been penned so perfectly, sometimes you just have to plagiarize.  But it's really not plagiarism if I credit the source so THANK YOU Rascal Flatts (we're fans around here) for summing up my heart. 

So this is for you Maddison Joy. 

(1) I hope the days come easy and (2) the moments pass slow
(3) And each road leads you where you want to go
(4) 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

(5) And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' til you find the window
(6) If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you
(7) Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
(8) Your dreams stay big, (9) your worries stay small
(10) You never need to carry more than you can hold

(11) 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

(12) I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you in the place you left
(13) I hope you always forgive and (14) you never regret
(15) And you help somebody every chance you get

(16) Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake
(17) And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything

My wish for you (repeat wish 7, 8, 9 & 10)
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

(repeat wish 11) 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!

Seventeen years ago I was blessed with one of Heavenly Father's best.
Thank you for being mine.
I hope you enjoyed your key lime pie.
