5321 Oshawa Beauty 20 April 2006 Do you know how my love is Do you know I miss you there How it is in this life love can be so unfair Oshawa, this place to live just to walk with you hand in hand in Lakeview Park The light like sunshine reflecting from your eyes No light as strong as that in uplifting you from the dark Or to smell the scent of a flower none so fair on Farewell Street Likened unto glass to protect your eyes no shadow to darken your way ahead Each tear-drop, a cloth to wipe away in cleanliness to look upon your lips in the beauty of sharing a kiss Early the 18th century Indians of the Mississauga Tribe began trading furs with the French and later the English. At the spot where the Oshawa Harbour is now located. By loading their furs into canoes and paddling along the shore of Lake Ontario to a trading post at the mouth of the Credit River. At the time, the fur trade was so important that the French established a trading post near the mouth of the Oshawa Creek around the year 1750. Of what began the economic history of exporting products from the region now known as the City of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |
