~*WHAT MY COUNTRY IS TO ME*~

The crispness in the air, the smells of fall
The rainbow of colours within the trees
Mother nature is again at work
With the beauty to eyes it will please

A sunrise of fiery fire and blues in background
The frost just covering the all of the green
Fall has come and changed my world
Breathtaking beauty all around to be seen

Walking along a country road, peace envelopes me
Listening to the sound of the fall Blue Jay
Almost hearing each leaf as it hits the ground
I smile as I take it all in and want to stay

The feeling of change always works on me
The hopes of newness and what comes with it
Each season brings a wonder of its own
My love of nature would not change a bit

To share the beauty of the surroundings I see
Is something I am more than willing to do
To share the beauty of Canadas' changes
Is what I want to do with you

It is a land of beauty, and serenity and calm
Not far to go, to find a place to be alone
With someone you love and want to share
This land, this beauty that I call home.

With you just walking in silence with me
The closeness of two hearts
You will see what makes me so proud
I will show all the parts

To love me, is to love my country
Of which my pride I have no shame
Canada holds my heart and soul
A Canadian, so proud of the name

Venture I will, to see the world
Other countries do hold beauty of their own
But I will always be a Canadian so true
Even if I find a new home, I will never be alone

Love can build a bridge from one country to another
It can find no boundaries or chains to build
But for each person and their homeland
Their pride is to be held in within the mind

So to all, be proud of what your country means
To you and all you hold so dear
For your country is your birthright
And always be proud to cheer
