Emile Pinet Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

 

Tradition and Diversity

I honor the day of Canada's birth
on July 1st, 1867, a nation rooted in democracy
began to grow and flourish,
irrigated by its people's sweat, blood, and tears.
I'm lucky to have inherited a Canadian culture
rich with tradition and diversity.
For liberty's an unequivocal right,
in the land of hockey, beaver tails, and maple syrup.
Canadians actively promote peace
defending the full meaning of free,
our voices united in the power of our vote.
Canada's a compassionate nation
based on morals, ideals, equality, and freedom.
I'm part of this country, and it's part of me.
