Canada, land of the rocky mountain, <br />The Niagara Falls, the Maple Leafs, <br />The land with the longest street in the world, <br />You, who are amongst the giant of nations, lies <br />Quietly, doing wonders for humanity, <br />A toast of love, of affection, give <br /> <br />You, home to adventurous pioneers <br />In technology, an industrious giant, <br />In a world of belwilderment <br />You stand respected and strong <br />You, a mecca of hope, proud and admired <br /> <br />Leaders come, leaders go, <br />Yet you continue to shine in <br />Peace, faith, love and understanding <br />Rest secure, you are a bright shining star <br /> <br />Canada, you a nation of multinationals, <br />Multiracial, and multicutural people <br />Sparkling from region to region <br />To you a toast, give, <br />You, a great nation, alive<br /><br />Winston Harding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-toast-to-canada/
