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 gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to.  I hope you know somebody loves you.  And wants the same things too.  Yeah, this is my wish.
