Inspired Song

A reflection of From the Balcony of the Ruben Dario Popular Theater
by Raul Gavarrete.

The national anthem of Nicaragua birthed dreams of a familiar land, echoing on the walls of the theater. Desires of a new life and improved way of being became real through this national song.
The heart of the listener began to sing along with the song.
It was a new song. A song of change a song of development of a loved land.
The rich history of Nicaragua is appreciated as memories of the struggle push hope towards the future.
Change has happened through bloodshed and tears.
Transformation of rubble into beautiful parks. Small, smelly spaces in to luscious gardens.
Here is the change…there’s even more to be seen.
The greatest aspirations are for the children for their safety, time enjoyed, and discoveries
revealed. They must grow to perpetuate the change.
Sweet sounds of loving whispers. Honest declarations of commitment and
peace, embrace the community of improvements.
The inhabitants of the city maintain the beauty and are happily responsible for its upkeep.
Those less fortunate gain the basic amenities of life.
The listener can see beyond the present conditions of home.
The rich spirit of survival creates an undeniable love for this incredible country.
The National Anthem of Nicaragua is the backdrop for the dreams of a visionary.
