Dennis Spilchuk Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Canada Day, July 1st

Canada Day, July 1st

Let us stand this 1st of July
And sing O Canada in salutation
And salute the Maple Leaf waving
In the sky above our nation.

Let us conciliate accord peacefully,
Where diversity is enlightenment
For the citizenry of our country,
In proud affirmation to be Canadian.

As we celebrate our anniversary
And reflect on our heritage and legacy,
We honour both the fallen and living
For their sacrifices to keep us free.

Victorious and proudly displayed,
That flag in the wind symbolizes unity
For a nation encompassed by three oceans and two borders:
Stays Canada, our home and native land.
