We Are the Peacekeepers

O, Canada we sing, standing tall with pride as one, for our land of natural beauty, mountains, trees and lakes; we are a peaceful country of many races and religions, we are all immigrants as our ancestors came by boat from across the ocean. I am so proud that we are the peacekeepers of war torn countries, our history is vast and fascinating and we have come a long way; I love this country from the open-spaces to the clean water, for the diversity of people, a mix of all nationalities living as one. Canada is a country with freedom of speech, thoughts and belief, and just one tiny thing to boast about please, we invented hockey; I am so proud and realize that I am lucky to have been born in Canada, so proudly, I stand to sing, O, Canada strong and loud. ______________________________________ Added after Judging January 20, 2020 Written, December 23, 2019 Poetry/Ode/We Are the Peacekeepers Copyright Protected, ID 19-1211-133-02 All Rights Reserved.
