I am

I am me, Canadian, and proud to be,
I wonder about my destiny
I hear serenity's enchantful song
I see the moonlit river gliding
I want only to sing too-to sing along
I am me, Canadian, and proud to be

I pretend my feet know how to walk on the ball
I feel the sky and sea pulling at my soul
I touch my forhead when sighing a prayer
I worry, uncertain if I'm getting anywhere
I cry sometimes, then will have a deja vu ephipheny
I am me, Canadian, and proud to be

I understand we our own fates sow
I say don't wait 'til tommorow
I dream of being a dolphin in the ocean
I try to have a good sense of direction
I hope just to find tranquility
I am me, Canadian, and proud to be

Lovely, do you live near the sea? Seems to be a recurring theme here...

BRAVO!!BRAVO!!!My fellow Canadian, how perfectly wonderful is this poem. Oh, can I ever connect with you on this one. Though I love my mountain home with all its magic still my heart belongs to the ocean. *sigh* delightful. Thank you so much. Much love to you from me.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.

challenge well met, my dear friend...this is wistfully peaceful....there is spiritual longing evident in this wonderful write. It reminded me of one of my goofier jokes:

Q. What did the Zen Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?

A.  Make me one with everything.

Grins, winks, hugs to you!!!!

I am Canadian too and I think this is a marvelous series of expressions right from the wide open heart of a Canadian....Us(Canucks)love the rest of the world so much from pole to pole with an appreciation of what it means to be free. This is well spoken from a true Canadian!

I found great humor in your poem... Especially, "a deja vu ephipheny."  I have no idea what this means, but it Did make me laugh.  I suppose it's ok to laugh in Canada?  Very good imagery... like touching your head while sighing in prayer! (Ha)  I know us dang  Yanks are All crazy.... Love ya anyway, Bob <><
