My Country, Right Or Wrong  With tear in eye and heart in hand I vow forevermore to love this land, I pledge my devotion to the home of the free give glory to God for this precious destiny, I'll say it loud and I'll say it proud I am Canadian! Brave to the core! I stand united with my people from sapphire sea to shining shore  This is the commonwealth of truth, the seventh wonder of liberty, yes, I adore my home sweet home and cherish the gift of democracy ...my country, right or wrong prosperous or faltering weak or strong the majestic North rings heaven's song - to my nation of birth my spirit belongs, for better or worse 'til death do us part Canada the beautiful you own my heart By Melissa P. Monette  In memory of the Americans and Canadians who lost their lives in the senseless attack on 9/11/01, this is a great tragedy that has forever changed the world and our hearts... I am truly sorry for the loss, but, I know that America will prevail! |
