My Wish by Rascal Flatts
I hope the days com
e 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' 'til you find the window,
if it's cold outside,show the world the warmth of your smile,
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, 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 then 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.

Rascal Flatts is perhaps one of the single best country groups of all time. The band consists of: Gary LeVox (lead vocals), his cousin Jay DeMarcus (bass guitar, keyboard, vocals), and their good friend Joe Don Roony (lead guitar, vocals). The band started out as a typical unknown band, but finally broke through in 1999 when they were signed with Lyric Street Records. In 2000 the band made their debut with their first song “Prayin’ For Daylight”, that made its way up to the number 3 spot on Billboard country charts. And since then they have sold over 5 million cds just in the U.S.! And they covered “Life is a Highway” for the 2006 Disney movie Cars. One of their least popular, but highly inspiring songs is “My Wish”.
“My Wish”, has many poetic device usages through out the song. One of the most used is imagery. For example in lines 1-7, “I hope 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' 'til you find the window.” These lines give the listener the images of some memories, and the choices the future holds. Another poetic quality that lines 1-4 obtain is an allusion to life, because in life you will have to make choices, and you do want every decision to lead you to where you long to be. Another poetic device found is personification like in lines 7&8 “if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.” This is personification because a smile can’t truly have warmth, however, the singer is trying to tell the listener to always look on the bright-side of things, and to try to inspire others.

So clearly “My Wish”, is inspiring to many people, along with many other of Rascal Flatts songs. “My Wish” is meant for the listener to count their blessings of friends, memories, somewhere to always go back, and the promising future that they mold with their own hands. The question is, how will it inspire you?
