Canada Day Eh
Why is Canada so very special to me
There are ever so many reasons
It's the land of my birth, the place I call home
A country blessed with four seasons
Winter in Canada with it's blanket of snow
Unmatched for beauty and splendour
The cold clean air as we take a deep breath
The thrill of outdoor adventures
As we curl up in front of a cozy warm fire
Overwhelmed by a magical feeling
We sense the sweet glow of love and devotion
Which sends our dear hearts a-reeling
Then spring arrives with a feeling of renewal
After winter’s long cozy nap
The birds sing out loudly, spring has arrived
No longer burdened by wooly hats
The jolly old sun seems so much warmer now
Blossoms soon raise their wee heads
Bumble bees buzz from flower to flower
Sipping nectar from each colourful bed
Then summer arrives, the sweetest time of the year
The hillsides are alive and in bloom
Sweet romance is foremost on everyone's mind
All the world's lovers are in tune
Those warm summer days are over too soon
August warns us of what's just ahead
With nature's brilliant colourful explosion
Of yellow, orange, crimson and red
It's the end of a cycle and the start of a new one
This wonderful country we live in
How fortunate we are to call ourselves Canadians
As a new cycle once more begins
