Of Canada, Canadians We Are

On the top of the berm One Canadian soldier stood His head bowed Heavily understood We sign up to do What the duty ensues To our flag we obey Our enemies, we pursue This tor of abroad In a distant land Four lives so free Leaving families bland As we awake tomorrow Knowing of yesterdays gone We do for the right For on this world we belong We are a nation of many Some days we will scar Of Canada Canadians we are My tribute to the many Canadian soldiers who have fought for not only their Countries freedom, but to preserve world peace, i bow to the living and fallen. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/war-6.php

interesting tribute, you know I never even heard of a canadian soldier. I am sure there are some but just have not known about it. I never hear of any canadian news except the new singers out there.

A wonderful dedication to the great people of Canada, James. Your words can make them feel proud of all they have done and continue to do to promote world peace. Great work, dear Highlander! Love, Carolyn
