O Canada

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!

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/20/2020 1:15:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 1/21/2020 12:53:00 AM Thank you so much, Carolyn. Most appreciated.
