O Canada Land of the free Fields and lakes and hills A history built on hard work and sweat Pious generations with ambition Charting progress with pride Humble and persevering World class contenders We stand proud Canada Day Each day Eh!

Hi Line, Congratulations on your delightful write. Love the format - you do that so well and the "eh" is just fun at the end of the poem. Is just seems to ask for our agreement!

Line, I admire the short lines in your ode and the way you were able to incorporate elements of Canada's national anthem. The "Eh" at the end made me smile. Congratulations on a second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn
