Maple Leaf Friendship

The young Maple Leaf stands there,
Canada's favorite tree.

The young sapling,,
Layered to perfection.

Admired by Canadians everywhere,
Sign for our Canadian hockey team.

A beautiful tree to behold,
Leaves swaying in the breeze.

The Maple Leaf is a coveted song,
Sung by choirs and soloists.

Beautiful to behold,
Perfect in shape and form.

I view you from the dinning-hall window,
Watching you gain prowess each day/

What a miracle you are,
God's chosen beautiful tree.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
