Canada, oh Canada what hast thou done with me whenever I do close my eyes my heart is there with thee Your mountains and great forests of an infinity Sequoias stand majestically ancient serenity What everlasting pleasure lies in your scenery the crumbling walls of what once was beneath a Maple tree Golden fields of waving grain whisper a lullaby the sunset slowly fades away beyond your endless sky Canada, oh Canada what hast thou done with me I feel thou wisphers in my soul I wish to be with thee I spot a single red deer scent danger in the breeze the slightest noise will make her flee among your mighty trees I see your children playing out on a frozen pond at snowball fights and slapping pucks a magic way beyond Mem’ries of the days gone by engraved into my soul return to you I will some day it’s always been my goal Canada, oh Canada what hast thou done with me thou temptress of my craving heart I long to be with thee |

Gosh Munda....you have captured everything I adore about this wonderful country I live in! We welcome you with open arms. I have never been to your country though I want to very badly. My parents were both born in the Netherlands. They return frequently but I have never been blest to travel there. I am first generation Canadian, my motherland being Holland. |

Munda, I love this as I have said before...beautifully done. One I could read over and over. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Almost all our misfortunes in life come from the wrong notions we have about the things that happen to us. >Stendhal |

Munda: Most excellent... both my parents come from North of the border and some 37 years later my mom still carries her green card with those late 50's cateye glasses. I got lots of family in the Great White and have many fond memories of trips taken and summers spent. Thanks for sharing. |
