your Beauty.

This land; given to us,
ours to live in.

to protect

to enjoy

to feel

Your Mountains!

steep, craggy peaks

full of grandeur,

of beauty and intrigue

Vast prairies of wheat-filled fields,

and beautiful trees

Breath-taking sunsets of glorious clouds.

that fill up the sky

and stretch to each horizon

Yours are the peaceful lakes, the surging rivers,

and the small trickling streamlets,

The coastlines of jagged rocks and majestic trees-

The crash and spray of salty water

Belongs:

to you

Look closely!

Intricate beauties surround.

Your flowers; such detail and beauty in color

Insects and tiny creatures-

Explore the small things

'in you'

The birds flap and soar with airy wings

they chirp out a melodious tune

The wind joins in with its swishing
to complete the orchestra
in this habitat

It is YOU! Fair Canada..

Your seasons of splendor

bring joy to my heart.

Spring, with snow melting,

plants sprouting,

and trees putting on their brightest, 

fresh green leaves

Then Summer with its warm, bright evenings-

of camping under your stars
and swimming
in your purest water

The warmth of this season I love

Autumn with its amber glow-

as trees change their personality

and drop their leaves

Canadian geese slice through your sky 

in their famous V-shape

The frosty mornings and pleasant afternoons,

are a pleasure in themself

Winter.

Comes to this land.

It freezes the water and covers you

in a dazzling blanket of diamonds.

The bare trees feel beautiful at last

as their branches become enveloped

with sparkling hoarfrost

The people that inhabit your land

surround the wood-burning fireplace

to sip hot cocoa and thaw out from 

a recent skating party

Your Beauty, Canada,

Enraptures my being

Makes me want to shout and sing

to capture this country with words

and share it with the World!

this Freedom~

My land.

'Our Land' to live in

to protect

to enjoy 

to EXPERIENCE
