"PROUD TO BE CANADIAN" Poetry
by Joan Adams Burchell
TWO POEMS (copyright)
Oh Canada
This is a nation of culture and
pride;
Freedom and trust have been true when tried.
Our land of mountains, lakes and plains
Is rich in beauty and wondrous terrain.
Canadians, lovers of beautiful trees,
Will fly their Maple Leaf proudly, with ease.
Thankful for bountiful gifts from our land,
We're a people ready to lend a hand.
Eyes on our flag, we stand and sing;
"Oh Canada" from sea to sea will ring.
Canadians Together
The Maple Leaf flies proudly as
it
looks across its land.
Canada is a glorious nation
with a patriotic stand.
Across the mountains, plains and lakes,
Canadians have a connection -
Look to their beloved flag
with pride and satisfaction.
Rich in freedom, culture and faith,
Canadians have a dream;
With enthusiasm and pride embrace
their country so supreme.
Red and yellow, black or white,
and whatever our native tongue,
Canada is our home where hand-in-
hand our anthem is sung.
