Poem


Ontario    in Iroquois is-
Kanadario         meaning sparkling water

the British     claimed the land
under the approval of the Queen
148 years ago

well        all that is another story  

Ontario became a province of Canada
in 1867
a land of rivers and lakes   and wild forests

the flag of Ontario has only been flying
since 1965 -
     red background
         British Union Jack in upper left corner 
and Provincial Coat of Arms of Ontario on fly half
it is a symbol of our identity

and the history of Ontario's British heritage
           our forever relationship with the Queen

the vastness of Ontario is breathtaking
the most amazing in my life
       travelling to Hudson Bay's    far north
           mostly still untouched and pristine

did you know that the Ontario's flower
is the white trillium
            found in woodlands 
     it follows the sun across the sky

our motto is    loyal she began   loyal she remains

the Ontario flag flies proudly beside the Canadian flag
a magical    beautiful    sight    shining boldly  

on any important building you will find her beauty

blazing in the sun
     fluttering in the wind    rain     and snow
             a symbol of  pride
