I Hope

I hope you surf the waves in from the ocean,
big and small.
I hope you watch the sunset,
from the mountain staight and tall.

I hope you sing a song to all the angels,
loud and clear.
I hope you'll always try new things,
never giving into fear.

I hope you fall in love,
with one who makes your world go round.
I hope that if you fall out,
your feet stay on the ground.

I hope that you can understand,
that true love waits for you.
That you might have to wait awhile,
but when it comes it will be true.

I hope you feel the sand,
hot on your toes on summers day.
I hope you learn that sandals,
help keep the pain away.

I hope you find a rainbow,
and realize it was worth the rain.
I hope that through your journey,
you'll learn to balance smiles with pain.

I hope that you will realize,
life isn't always on your side.
I hope you know when hope is lost,
in me you can confide.

I hope that your glowing smile,
brings someone out of gloom.
I hope you taste your life,
with more than just a spoon.

I hope when you're lost,
you are also one to find.
And I hope that your hand,
never grows too big for mine.

I hope you watch the stars shoot by,
upon a grassy hill.
I hope you know I love you,
always have and always will.
