I have the sun as my light
that trips the songs of praise
brings forth a silent harmony
which travels in my heart again.
I have the road my believer
the second sight of truth
that flows in my veins as blood
conquering my fears I've seen through.
I travel the distance silently
letting the music of the wind carry me
as it reushes past the open windows
at more than enough speed.
I find a land far north of me
of which I feel in my soul
on a day it celebrates a holiday
As I celebrate my freedom born.

Well, from a Canadian view, this was an eloquent, unique and well-penned tribute   Thank you for this~ We both celebrate the luxury of freedom and beauty~

Take care,

A very nice jester indeed, even if you are a Yankee!  

But what do I know, I am just a crazy Canuck!
