"Who wants to become a writer? Because its the answer to everything... a reason for living. To note, pin down, build up, create, to be astonished at nothing, cherish the odds, to make a great flower out of this life, even if ts a cactus." Enid Bagnold


I will not put this flag down,
as long as I can stand.
I refuse to ever give up,
I'll keep on fighting for this land.

Though sometimes it gets hard,
I will fight hard and long.
I'll fight for my family and friend,
then soon will return home.

Freedom is not free,
and that's why I'm in this war.
I'm giving my life,
and you're the one I'm fighting for.

I will not put this flag down,
as long as I can stand.
I refuse to ever give up,
I'll keep on fighting for this land.
