In honour of CANADA DAY...
July 1, 2006



Red And White Glory
    
No stars, nor Venus can compare
to Canada, true north so fair
where I am born of precious place
with magic earth, exuding grace,
where dreams live on to bright the day
as fairies paint and angels play.
O Canada, my home sweet home
from thee I have no need to roam.

All eyes delight from far and wide
to mountains, prairies, oceans pride -
the world's elite, a wonderland,
I rise for thee with heart in hand
where freedom rings and bluebirds sing
and rainbows prance to warm the spring;
God's work of art, the best of all
strong maple leaf, flag standing tall.

For Canada is heaven's light
magnificent dear red and white!
    
Melissa Long-Monette




Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
