Why blog?

It's therapeutic... specially for dorks like me who communicate better when they have the chance to process their thoughts, select their words, and write precisely what they want to say. As much as I'm a "talker", I stumble, stutter, and don't always say things right. English as a second language might have something to do with that (unfortunately, I don't think I could blog in Spanish... I lost my grammar in that language). I like to pour out my thoughts and leave it out there in the cosmos (or the world wide web) for other people to mull over...

Because of the Brave

A battle weary soldier prays a silent prayer
Thinks of family far away tonight.
Brothers gathered around, all faithful to the cause
Never knowing if they'll see tomorrow's light

Willingly they face the struggle everyday
Freedom's price is more than they should have to pay...

I can live in freedom, I can dream my dreams
Freedom's price was paid, because of those who died for me
I will honor what they fought to save. This is the land of the free...
Because of the brave.

Mother of their children, sits broken and alone
Holds a folded flag close to her heart.
Friends and family gathered around, but they've all come and gone
Now her life is being torn apart

Faithfully she'll face the struggle everyday
But freedom's price is more than she should have to pay...

I can live in freedom, I can dream my dreams
Freedom's price was paid, because of those who died for me..
I will honor what they fought to save. This is the land of the free...
Because of the brave.

Brave men who paid the price, and made the final sacrifice
Knowing it would lead them to their grave
And I cannot repay the costs, or mend the hearts of those who lost
But I can live the dream they died to save...

I can live in freedom, I can dream my dreams.
Freedom's price was paid, because of those who died for me...
I will honor what they fought to save. This is the land of the free...
Because of the brave.
