Poem
Come along everyone and let us celebrate An anniversary of importance. The date? Next July First! A day that will soon be here, And one all will remember. It’s very clear Dates like this determine a National celebration As befits a proud and independent nation. Scores of excited citizens, coast to coast to coast, Seek to make their personal plans to host Events and fete visitors from everywhere. Searching for ways by which they can share Quietly with family, or in grandiose public display! Undoubtedly this for them, will be a very special day In the recorded annuals of our country's history. Canada is regarded by many as a friendly society, Even though there are indigenous issues to fix, No one lives in fear, despite our eclectic mix! There’s tolerant understanding and diversity: Equal rights and freedom of religious variety. No one has cause to fear racist, sectarian woes! Now in the land of fast disappearing snows Is the time for citizens to plan a day of harmony And prepare to celebrate the freedom and civility Lauded by many others as a worthy epitome! Clasping hands with neighbours in celebration; Embracing new cultures strengthens a Nation. Let the world know we`re proud of a Heritage Envied by many, for we enjoy Freedoms in an age Beset with conflict and violence! Living in unity, Raising families in a safe and loving community Allows citizens to follow their choosing - racism denied. This further strengthens a Nation when tolerance is applied. Integrating newcomers into a society of free religious preference, Offers safe sanctuary to those persecuted by bigotted offence. Now is the perfect time for All Canadians to stand and proudly say: Sesquicentennial celebrations will show “ours” is the Better Way! Rhymer. March 20th, 2017. (Sesquicentennial is the term used to define or specify a 150th Anniversary.)
