Happy Canada Day!!

2016

Canada a mosaic of people

Standing proudly free

Celebrating 

The one hundred and forty-ninth birthday

Of confederation 

When we all came together

At first under the flag of Britain 

Then finally to be one under a flag

With a field of red on each side

A red maple leaf

 In a subject of white

In the centre

A symbol of our hearts

We love our country

Its people and traditions

We love the freedom of speech

Movement and freedom to vote

Some days just quietly

Thinking we are Canadian

How we are so lucky

To be in this country

To live strong and free

To enjoy our country

So beautiful far and wide

Riches of nature to behold

We love our symbols such as

The beaver and the moose

Hockey, toques, Timmies coffee

Butter tarts and maple syrup

To name a few

But most of all we love that

We can raise our families

In peace and tranquility

Proudly saying we are

CANADIAN
Blending cultures and families 
TOGETHER
For only together
Can we be one great nation
Proud and free

So we raise our flags today

And celebrating proudly our birthday

Shouting

Happy Canada Day!!

Smiling at our neighbours

Offering thanks to the heavens above

For peace as we

Get together to party

As one

Singing
