What I Hope For You

What it comes time for you to look back on all your years
I hope it's with a smile and not with tears
When you are thinking of the roads you have traveled in days gone by
I hope you will remember all your reasons why

When you are given the choices that life hands you
I hope you always do what your heart tells you to
If leaving means taking chances, I hope you can see

That chances are worth taking, whatever they may be

When the future seems so far off in the distance
I hope you never take the path of least resistance
If at the end of your tunnel, you see no light
I hope you turn around, and run with all your might

When you have nothing left to live for but your dreams
I hope you know, life can be more than it seems
When you know there is a better way
I hope you have the sense to obey

When you look up into the night sky
I hope you see the stars and wonder why
If there are questions still tugging at your mind
I hope you don't give up until the answers you find

When you lose your way, and feel all alone
I hope you'll always remember how to find home
If it seems your troubles never go away
I hope you remember how to pray

When life blesses you with the gift of love
I hope you have the strength from God above
If you feel you cannot make it last
I hope you give it another fighting chance

When your life is finally at its end
I hope you never wonder what could have been
When you think love might be a mistake
I hope you know, it's one worth it to make

When you see two roads that you can take
I hope you look at them as if your life is at stake
When you think you have nothing to lose
I hope you know, you always do

When you think you have nothing left
I hope you appreciate every breath
When time rushes you along
I hope you never wonder where your life has gone
